Minefield

Minefield is a collaboration and negotiation problem solving activity, where by four sub groups compete against each other to spend as little possible of a given budget to win a bonus. Winning this ‘bonus’ is not feasible without use of collaboration, influencing and negotiation skills between the four teams.

An experiential activity that gives a numerical measure of effective team performance, based upon a willingness to break down barriers and share knowledge across team boundaries.

n a commercial environment business knowledge is the basis upon which critical decisions are made. Businesses always try to access the best business knowledge available to them, although the cost of accessing this knowledge may be high. Organisations certainly do not want to waste money on information that already exists within the business, or on solutions that could be achieved without additional investment.

This exercise explores issues around the acquisition of Business Knowledge and the costs of poor Knowledge Management. It also explores interteam relationships, including the need to build trust in the integrity and competence of others in order to feel confident in sharing information and the willingness of individuals to ‘give away’ something they have invested in. Minefield also explores the different attitudes of individuals and teams to risk.
