About Blind Origami

In this activity one team member makes an origami figure using our instructions. Without seeing, each person must attempt to reproduce the origami based only on what the team member is instructing them! The ultimate goal is to have each member create a craft closely resembling the original. This demonstrates how ambiguity in communication and discounting process can lead to deviation from desired outcome.

Key Focus Areas

Creativity
Cross functional collaboration
Effective Communication
Listening skills

How does it work ?

The person with the instructions (the instructor) should guide their teammates (the receivers) through the steps to create an origami structure via videoconferencing software (but with the camera turned off).

Team Activators are just as their name reflects - they activate our energy levels. Their activities are real energizers amidst all the workload one has. These activators should be picked up by every organization to ensure team motivation at all times. It's a perfect example of how a fun activity can also be conducted virtually.

They are really good at team engagement. Since we had a session with them online (virtual), I didn't know it could be this fun! Loved their decks (which are interactive), their hosts (much fun - Brendon and others), and all the games and activities. Highly recommend them for a short, fun session with the team.

Group sizeThe per-person cost falls as the group grows; 20 and 200 people are different events.
Location and venueCity, travel for the crew, and whether the venue needs a recce before the day.

Who is in the roomSenior and leadership teams get senior facilitators and a design built around their agenda.
CustomisationCompany-specific content, props, awards and AV, if you want them.
