Hello. My name is Dave Palmer and I am a new subscriber to the
learning org digest. I am an internal consultant with a large bank
located in Cleveland, Ohio. The bank has launched an effort to
transform the culture and work methods/systems and adopt the tenets of
continuous improvement (essentially TQM).

My Request.......
I'm looking for a "getting started" or "icebreaker" type exercise to
be used at a leadership conference. The focus of the conference is to
create a sense of connection and alignment. The divisions and
departments of our bank have long worked in independent silos. We're
looking to create a sense of unified direction. Ideally, the exercise
will be more than the usual introductions and instead allow the
participants to experience an "ah ha"...a collective understanding of
the need to be aligned and moving together. There will be
approximately 125 participants, representing the top third of our
management.

I've already use the "point north" exercise at a previous conference.
It was very well received and created that "ah ha" I mentioned
earlier. I'd be glad to pass along info on this exercise if anyone is
interested.

Many thanks for your help!
