20 to 30 minutes
Explain the purpose of the activity and write it down on the board or main map.
Give each team 10 minutes to generate improvement ideas based on their own imaginary evaluation in the previous activity. Encourage them to think big; after all, they are playing the role of an executive in the company!
When the time is up, ask each facilitator to present their ideas.
Example:
- There’s a conference about sustainable development coming up. Maybe we can give a presentation there and explain our transition and the way it has helped create a more sustainable environment for us. Doing this will help improve our reputation, and it may generate more leads for us.
- The national police have invited all architecture firms to a bid for their new project. One of their evaluation criteria is the security of internal processes and software. We already have a great score (86%), and if we can increase it to 90%, we would have a great chance of winning the project without lowering our price. Let’s initiate a small project aimed at reaching a security and privacy score of 90%!
- The main problem graphic designers have with Gimp (compared to Photoshop) is that Gimp doesn’t have non-destructive adjustment layers. We can join forces with Artoaudit and Artobuilders and sponsor the Gimp team and support them financially to add the feature in their next release; it will cost each of us 70 Artopools to do so, and it will probably take them about 6 months to add the feature.
- Pass on part of the cost reductions to the staff, as a bonus, to create a more positive impression of the project.
