Global team case presentations

Executive education
Managing Groups and Teams
Team simulations, a global team case, and the research on why groups underperform
79 participants from 14 organizations
I taught this one alone. Day one is a lunar survival simulation: everyone ranks the items alone, then as a team, and we score both against NASA's ranking so the room can see when the group beat its best member and when it didn't. Day two covers collective intelligence, psychological safety, and social loafing. Day three works through goal setting and a case about rebuilding a global team, then uses Hofstede's dimensions to compare the countries in the room.
