What is it?

The Improv Cards are cards with 52 different images, it is a tool that helps you to tell improvised stories in a specific moment and context, you can find them in this place [download cards] for free.

What is it useful for?

From my experience we have used it in the company of other techniques or to make a final reflection about a training, a coaching session or generate a brainstorming of ideas, among others.

How did I experiment?

Case 1

After the exploitation or reflection with the game moving motivators you can apply Improv Cards to discover possible actions, encourage collaboration and work together to provide solutions to a negative situation that are detrimental to the team and its motivations.

Case 2

Sometimes I ask the participants that they take a single word after receiving a training, I have replaced it in some cases asking them to take a card with which they feel identified and tell a story of what they learned, as long as there is enough time to do it.

What I learned?

You can take this exercise and adapt it to your needs too, it is valid to apply the mojito in the way you will do it, and the important thing is that it enables a space for people to put their brain to exercise and quickly assemble an open conversation, creative and to share ideas with everyone who is present.

The simplicity with which I was presented to this new team of professionals: This is Rodolfo Suárez who will be the new member of the department..., he has experience in..., very basic or very traditional in my opinion. I wondered if a better or different way didn’t exist to integrate new members of the team to other employees and managers. This unease led me to investigate and discover for the first time the existence of the M3.0 movement in ...

The delegation is a leadership tool, you already know Delegation Board?

What is Delegation Board? "Delegate is not the same as assigning tasks" The Delegation Board is a tool created by Jurgen Appelo . It was described for the first time in his book, Management 3.0 . The idea is very simple. Draw a matrix and place the decision areas in rows and delegation levels in columns and you're done. And with the delegation poker there are more possibilities and the team is encouraged to discuss with the Project Manager / Delegator and to think about their roles and responsibilities. What is it useful for? To explain its usefulness I'll do it with an example. A Project Manager tells a worker Pedro: "please, call provider X and put it on the phone." Or if I say: "Pedro, please call the supplier X and arrange with him the details of the final contracting for services, that he communicates the payment terms and under what payment modality will be established.
