Problem Solving, Planning, Teamwork
  Communication and Performance Management
              are key learning points in this
         training activity and business game.

Display Shelf

Teams have 14 pieces of shelving with groves cut in various places which enable them to fit together and make up a display shelf.

They have up to 60 minutes to develop a method of assembly that can produce a finished display shelf in less than 30 seconds.

Teams find it very difficult, but through planning and effective teamwork it has been done in 15 seconds!

Effective planning, performance improvement, teamwork and the ability to work in small sub-groups are essential to be successful.

This activity highlights the importance of individual contributions to group task achievement. It is also very effective for drawing out the characteristics of effective management and leadership.

Fun Activity
You can also use this as a fun activity by seeing which team can complete it quickest. They will soon learn “More haste, less speed” and “Failing to plan is planning to fail!”

If you think this is easy - you try it. There is a lot to learn from this!

Key points
The focus of shelving is on developing teamwork, but this exercise also brings out these useful training areas:

• Problem solving
• Planning
• Teamwork
• Communication
• Project Management
• Leadership
• Performance improvement

Duration:     This training activity runs for 70 minutes + debrief

Numbers:    4 to 8 participants (for each game).

NEW: We used to sell the display shelf in wood, but we have found that plastic is lighter, cleaner and cheaper to produce. This means that we have reduced the cost to buy and deliver the activity.

Cost to buy (including instructions) to facilitate it yourself: £400 + delivery and VAT.
To run this with more teams; you can buy another set of display shelf for £250 + delivery and VAT.
