Reveal what people value through their guest list.
Imagine you could invite absolutely anyone to your team dinner party. Who would it be and why? And how would they get on with the other guests, and your team?
You’re throwing a team dinner and it’s a magical world; you can invite literally anyone you’d like, living or dead, real or imagined (a character).
Who would you each invite and why?
What qualities do you admire in the person you chose?
What do you think they would bring to the table (food, conversation or otherwise)?
Are they the same or vastly different to other guests your team mates have chosen?
Use Ultimate Dinner Party as a fun way to build trust and rapport. Inviting anyone, living or dead, real or imagined, and explaining why reveals the qualities people admire and lets a team share personal interests.
Using this tool with a skilled facilitator means that discussions are focused, time is used efficiently, and the group moves toward consensus, making the session productive and impactful.
