“One for all and all for one” is a good motto for the three Musketeers but not a popular one for the software development company. If in IT company you call someone a d’Artagnan you can sereousle offend a person.
IT-crowd looks more like a prairie lonely cowboys than like a troop of musketeers. What’s in the way of lonely cowboys to become a regular army? Our answer is that they simply don’t know what to start with.
In our workshop we’ll address problems of lack of trust and cooperation, and “The Lonely Cowboy” effect in the teams and companies. The participants will experience challenges that require cooperative work and will find their own strategies of surviving in a non-friendly context.
During workshop participant will play two simulations, one of which represents daily interaction in the team between team members, and the other one refers to the cross-team collaboration within the company.
