Every morning the group will discuss what needs to be accomplished that day and what is outstanding to meet the commitments for the event deliverables. Promise holders will lead the teams in identifying outstanding tasks and assigning deadlines.
Brainstorming
A number of teams use the ‘Big Rocks’ analogy when deciding on their top priority goals. The core concept is this: if you’re trying to fill a jar, you put the big rocks in first. Then there’s plenty of room for small rocks, sand, etc to fill in the rest. But if you put the sand first, then the small rocks, then the big rocks, the big rocks won’t fit. In the same way, if a team focuses on the Big Rock goals first, it’s more likely they’ll achieve the lower-priority goals.
This doc helps teams decide what those Big Rocks are by using the ‘’ to distribute a fictitious $100 across each of the proposed Big Rocks. Add a few top priority company or team goals to the Big Rocks table before inviting the rest of the team to weigh in. The key to this process is for everyone to allocate their $100 privately in Step 2 first, then come together for a brainstorm session to review and discuss the results collectively in Step 3. Propose a few Big Rocks
When you’re ready to start, click and then ‘+ New row’ to add your own Big Rock candidates. Invite others to allocate their $$
Each team member should allocate $100 to each of the initiatives and fill in comments. Note that the table below will filter so each person can only see their own allocations. To start, each person should click this button:
Allocate $ across priorities. You are currently at $. Review the results as a team
Now it’s time for the reveal and discussion! Note, don’t unfold this section until everyone finishes their individual allocations. Below you’ll see the average allocations and a sense of the point distribution. You can also use the arrows to the left of each row to drill into the details and see everyone’s comments.
