Delegation Poker

1. Interactive Brainstorming: Teams begin with a brain dump to identify decision-making areas that require attention, ensuring everyone’s voice is heard right from the start.
2. Strategic Gameplay: Through a silent poker betting system, team members individually reflect on current and desired states of decision-making authority, promoting introspection without the pressure of group dynamics.
3. Constructive Dialogue: A carefully structured speaking round allows each participant to share their rationale behind their poker bets, fostering a culture of understanding without descending into counterproductive debate.
4. Consensus-Building: Post-discussion, the team revisits their bets, now with the benefit of having heard diverse perspectives, moving towards consensus in the best interest of the team and the organization.
5. Actionable Outcomes: The final step involves translating the agreements into concrete actions, detailing the who, what, when, where, and how of implementation, and then committing to these decisions on a delegation board for accountability.
6. Reiterative Process: The workshop is designed to be iterative; as teams tackle different themes, they can repeat the process, thereby continually refining their collaborative processes.

This workshop is not just a one-time event but a methodological tool that teams can reuse to adapt and thrive in the face of new challenges or changing team dynamics.
