#17 Consider How to Extend an Ice-Breaker Into a Development Opportunity

Client Enquiry:

We are holding a Workshop for engineers to introduce some new working practices. The workshop theme is Empowerment and wed like to open with a relevant ice-breaker of around 15 to 20 minutes duration.  Any ideas?

In terms of Empowerment we would suggest the following Activities:
