Reflecting at the Fun Day
We said there was a whole lotta fun to be had at our end of project retrospective fun day and that's exactly what we had - fun! And the various retrospective activities interspersed throughout the day produced a lots useful information and ideas. I plan to blog about these separately because we'll be running some experiments based on our ideas to simplify and improve the way we work as a team. In the meantime, here's some photos from the day:

A whole lotta fun to be had
We're going to have a fun day on Friday to celebrate the success of our most recent client work.We'll start the day at My Old Dutch Pancake House for brunch and a retrospective. As we do every week, we'll be seeking some small actions to drive our continuous improvement. In the afternoon we'll hit the Bloomsbury Bowling to shoot some pool and do some ten pin bowling while engaging in a 'beerstorm', i.e. brainstorming fuelled by beer. I'm keen to stimulate some transformative ideas that could take us to a whole new place. I have no preconceived notions and I'm excited to see what the team comes up with.
It's both productive and revealing to do things like retrospectives and brainstorming in a social setting filled with jokes and laughs, nom and drinkies. People relax, drop their guard, are less defensive and generally more open to things. And, importantly, our friendship helps avoid anything said being taken as offensive.
