Landslide - Participant Activity (6 pages)
Landslide A consensus decision making activity
Martin Thompson
Landslide is a team-building resource that goes beyond the ?survival? type of activity. Using a potential ?life and death? scenario, it requires groups to reach consensus using their own judgement and limited information. It also helps participants identify and discuss many of the personal values that can either accelerate or block the growth of the team. As with real life, the decisions are scrutinized afterwards and the participants are able to increase their understanding of how they worked together.
Landslide can be incorporated into any team-building program to add drama and excitement.
