Matrix

• Explore the balance between individual and team/organisational targets
• Consider how best to contribute individual effort to a team task
• Understand the importance of correct and complete team briefing and effective on-going effective communication in achieving shared goals
• Understand how to design effective networks and avoid problems in internal supply chains
• Explore appropriate management and leadership skills within a team
• Resource management within a supply chain

How to run the activity:

Working in a group, up to 16 participants are placed in a supply chain network in which each person has physical connections via extended cords on belts to other people in the network.

Within the system are coloured links, representing resources or pieces of information that must be moved around the network via the existing cord connections. Each individual participant has a target card which illustrates a sequence of coloured links to be collected. There are strict rules about how and when the links can be moved.

The aim of the exercise is to ensure that the resources / information within the network are managed effectively and efficiently so that every person involved can meet their individual target. Upon completion of an individual target, the individual concerned is removed from the network and the links attached to that belt are removed. Essentially, removing the individual from the supply chain network.

Planning for individual completion and exit from the system is important, to ensure that the achievement of individual targets does not compromise the ability of the wider organisation to succeed.
