When we face a difficult project or situation, we often wonder what would happen if we could just make a wish? Wouldn't everything work out just fine? Try this exercise under the assumption we could make a wish (or three) to make this project work or to go with a totally different possibility. To work within shorter time frame, you may want to limit the exercise to one wish.
Objective: To find a unique perspective to problem solving given unlimited possibilities and no restrictions.
Instructions: Each team has discovered a magic genie lamp. When you rub it , the genie pops out and grants your team three wishes on things you would like to see happen or change at work. The team must decide what the three things are. It can be to a person, the boss, the job, the people you work with or project specific. Remember each wish can have consequences if not thought out.
Spend 15-30 discussing the possibilities and the ramifications of each and choose the three best alternatives. Each team will then explain to the group why they chose their particular wishes and why some were not chosen.
