Between FloorsTeam Decision Exercise
A dark office elevator, a failing communication system, and one final night patrol leave your team a narrow chance to be heard.
Scenario items
A quick look at the item set.
Use this fictional scenario to give the group one structured decision. Every team must explain priorities, work through disagreement, and reach one shared ranking before the reveal.
Sources & methodology How we build reference models across the library.
Sample items
Emergency whistle
Hand sanitizer
Teams debate the value of 9 items and lock in one shared ranking. The reveal compares their choices with the scenario's reference ranking, giving the facilitator concrete material for a debrief about priorities, persuasion, changing minds, and consensus.
What teams debate: Calling attention, battery power, keeping cool and choosing how to act while waiting inside.
Debrief prompts
- Which item created the strongest disagreement?
- What assumption did the team make too quickly?
- Who changed their mind during the discussion?
- Which goal did the team optimize for, and what did it postpone?
- What would you do differently in a real group decision?
