    Hi All,
    Just wondering if anyone has any bright ideas around an interactive virtual activity for creating Operational Definitions? We would usually do the classic measuring of a banana as a face to face group exercise which stimulates a lot of conversation so something along those lines would be great, but that can be done on an individual basis and discussed…
    Any ideas gratefully received -thanks!

    • Yeah, one of our team came up with a great activity. They had a photo of about 15-20 staff members all in different clothes (normal and scrubs and wearing lanyards) then a question… how many people are wearing blue.
      Lots of different variations in the answers – does a blue lanyard count. They did a poll on slido to see the multiple answers. Then asked a clearer question. How many wearing blue clothes…. and then you keep refining your question.

    • Have you looked at any of the Liberating Structures tools, like impromptu networking? They can work really well virtually if you have a breakout room function. There is a group on Q for trying out these techniques and also an app that is free to download and has lots of info -just type in liberating structures app and it should get you there.

    • Ah yes, I did one of the ‘Happy’ liberating structures sessions – definitely some helpful methodologies for a virtual offering. We’re waiting to see what the MS Teams ‘channels’ set up looks like as the equivalent of a zoom break out room…
      Thanks!
