Facilitator Tips
Provide value definitions and encourage personal interpretation. Create a non-judgmental space. Sometimes participants struggle with choosing, so remind them there are no wrong answers.
Variations
To focus on work values, narrow the activity to a specific theme relevant to your team. This increases relevance to current projects and makes insights actionable. I've found it helps to tie the values back to specific project goals.
