Well, that’s how the song goes… But it’s true that we have more fun when we get together, and even more so when there’s a little COMPETITION!
First things, first…
Welcome to your group for Kick-Off. You will notice that your group members come from different countries and different roles. Please take the time between now and Kick-Off to get to know one another (virtually), to discuss how you could beat the other seven groups and emerge victorious! You will need to pick a Leader and a Team Name and register these details with me by 11 September, Friday.
Show Them What You’ve Got!
There are THREE activities during Kick-Off where you will have a chance to score points for your team. And this is what you need to do to win!
1. Competitor Gallery
• [Pre-work Alert!] Find out as much as you can about Right Management as a team. Think about:
i. Their Strengths and Weaknesses compared to DDI
ii. Market perception
iii. Their preparations for AEC
• During Kick-Off, your team will be expected to put your research on display for a gallery walk. This is a poster display so NO POWERPOINTS allowed. You will be provided with some time and a materials pack to create your display at Kick-Off.
• Points will be awarded by the judges for content, creativity, and communication skills.
2. Your First Leadership Job GAME
• Instructions on the game will be provided during Kick-Off.
• It will be advantageous for your team if everyone is familiar with the concepts and information shared in the book.
3. Mindmarker – Review & Reveal
• At the end of this month, you will receive an automated email inviting you to download and experience a Mindmarker demo.
• While some of you may already be familiar with Mindmarker, your participation in this demo will contribute to your overall team performance. Points will be awarded based on level of completion and accuracy of answers to the quiz questions.
• [Pre-work Alert!] Please note that the demo is an on-going exercise happening between now until Kick-Off.
4 weeks to go! Any questions?
On behalf of the Kick-Off, I wish your team all the best and hope you will win The Best Team Award. Should you need any clarifications on the above, please feel free to ask myself, Christal Martin and/or Angela Lopez. Thank you!
