Heittäytymisestä: Wed, 02 Jun 2010 11:53:59 +0000 - “Nuorempana peitin omat pelkoni ja epävarmuuteni yliaktiivisella yrittämisellä ja kovalla mesoamisella. Mutta itseluottamuksen karttuessa on ollut valtavan hienoa huomata, kuinka luottamus tarttuu myös työryhmään ja sieltä takaisin minuun. Antautuminen vuorovaikutukseen on äärimmäisen tärkeää! On muistettava, että jos suojelee itseään, ei voi edellyttää toisenkaan heittäytyvän.” Ohjaaja Pekka Milonoff kirjassa Miten minusta tuli minä? (Marko Gustafsson) Filed [...]

Sen avulla pystyy näkemään kokonaisuuksia, hahmottamaan monimutkaisia asioita ja liimaamaan asioita toisiinsa. Ei terveydenhuollon parantamisessakaan tärkeintä ole tehokkaampien lääkkeiden tai laitteiden kehittäminen vaan kokonaisuuksien ymmärtäminen. Filed under: Päivän [...]

"I run a specialist team of 10 people, in many customer projects the work rate is very high and we really need to keep our heads cool when we make critical decisions. Playing NoviCraft allowed us to experience the uncertainty in stressful situation, and through that learn how to engage everyone in the team to the decision making process."

Onninen Oy, Mika Liikonen, Sales Group Manager

"My team is going through large change process, and needed something common to get energy. We played NoviCraft online and used the support material from TeamingStream for reflection. The game really got the team engaged and revealed energy levels we haven't seen for a while. This experience brought our team members closer to each other, and also raised the concept of collaboration into a new level."

Microsoft Finland Oy, Max Mickelsson, Director public sector relations

Max Mickelsson, Director public sector relations, realized during NoviCraft that all of us have their own primary model of behaviour. "Someone is acting instantenously, someone is thinking first for a while and third one relies on others for support. Someone might have been a better problem solver, but one person had to coordinate the actions." (Fakta Magazine 04/2009, p.)
