Editor's Notes
Last but not least, if you do leave the program, please let us know by clicking on the away icon and that will indicate to me that I probably should not call on you because you are no longer at your computer.
Ask Participants to rank order from most to least important
State that we can learn a lot about creativity by understanding how the mental process works
Is the white triangle real? It appears to be, because the brain automatically fills in lines that are missing assuming that the shape is there. But if you block out parts of the picture, the white triangle vanishes.
And provide us with some mental floss
(FLASH THIS SCREEN, ONLY ALLOWING ENOUGH TIME FOR THEM TO SEE ONE CARD)
“ Do you see your card-Was I able to remove the card you selected?” Raise your hand if your card is missing. “ What just happened? Does anyone know who I did that?” They guess or tell them that all the cards were changed out. Close with: “ We all have blind spots. When we focus on one thing-there are lots of other things we miss. We all have blind spots individually and teams can have blind spots too.

So what I would like you to now is based on your selection, place a check or an item or something next to the item that you selected as most important for the team in your perspective. Which one is that? It’s very interesting to see that all of them were selected except for getting to task, implementation, quality, on time delivery. That’s going to be interesting to see as we look at our group process. That is, of course, going to be pretty important – would you agree? Give me a smiley face if you agree that it’s pretty important. Looks like all of you think it’s pretty important. That may be something that we pay attention to. It looks like the group, overall, agree that the blue, red and yellow are most important. Of course, all four are critically important to success when we look at teams. If we don’t get things done, you’re going to feel the consequences as a group.
We do not multitask When you have to focus, you retain better!!!
Patty’s notes: And so as we look at this process, how do we do that? Well, one of the best ways to do that is to make sure that we build off of each others’ ideas and thinking so that we can get things done. As you can see in this terrific example of it’s a dogs’ world after all. Notes already here: We know you need to be creative to get and keep the team on board and solve challenges.
