Tuscan Shadows is unique training activity that captivates participants with its colorful, exciting audio/visual format. The activity is in the form of a PowerPoint slide show that tests the ability of employees to observe and memorize pictorial detail and then share their observations with members of their team in an effort to reach team consensus. The scenario for the activity is a visual tour along the many roads that lead to the picturesque region of Tuscany in Italy. Each scene is presented to employees for a limited time and is then followed by a multiple choice test that measures how well employees recall details of the scene.
In a subsequent team discussion employees try to reconcile any differences among their observations and agree on a team decision. A comparison of their individual and team scores shows whether they were successful in achieving a synergistic decision. Excellent for all levels of the organization.
Can be conducted in about 1 1/2 to 2 hours including debriefing.
