Exercise 1 Team Work Convergent Thinking Game of Broken Squares

1. Exercise 1 Team Work Convergent Thinking Game of Broken Squares

3. Steps : • Leader Explains the Game • Members closely observe all pieces and • Separate pieces based on a clue ( Stratify) • Each one takes one set • After each one finishes one’s set, that should be documented to preserve Knowledge. That helps other person to learn. • Each team to tell one point learning from this.

4. Convergent Thinking • FourPieces must be used to make a square. • But they are mixed up. • Each Team has to make 5 squares - More than once • Time taken for second time must be less - Very much • How do you Preserve the Knowlegde of success Test you team working Skills Each team has to say, What is the one point lesson Learnt?

5. One Point Learning (Shapes are like Humans) • Observe First and get any Clue • Once done by trial and error • does not get registered in mind • So, Practice, Practice, Practice • Different shapes can combine • to get the Square ( objective) • Identical Shapes can also • combine to make a square • Document to Preserve Knowledge • (Standardization)

14. Exercise 3

15. Read the following. At each asterisk write your ranking of Fatima using the scale: 1: Very poor 2: Poor 3: Average 4: Good 5: Very Good. Srinivasan, Kurien and Fatima are tailors in a garment Company. Their average stitching speeds (garments per day) for the last three months have been:- Srinivasan = 60; Kurien = 50; Fatima = 30. *What do you think of Fatima’s performance? Srinivasan and Kurien had other jobs before joining this Company three years ago. This is Fatima’s first job. She joined three months ago. *What do you think of Fatima’s performance?

16. While Srinivasan and Kurien’s have new imported sewing machines. Fatima has an old local machine which gets stuck frequently. *What do you think of Fatima’s performance? Most of Srinivasan and Kurien’s work is steady, simple garment stitching, yet they have considerable number of re-works. Fatima on the other hand is usually given difficult jobs and her work is practically errorless. *What do you think of Fatima’s performance? Fatima does her stitching easily without much strain whereas Srinivasan and Kurien struggle to stitch the garments. *What do you think of Fatima’s performance?

17. Learning: If you decide based on incomplete data, your decision may be wrong.
