About this session
The Chain Reaction Challenge: Reliability at the Handoffs is a 90-minute to half-day in-person team building challenge for teams who want to practice reliable handoffs by building a tabletop chain reaction.
Each group builds one section of a chain reaction, and every section must trigger the next. The whole sequence only works if every handoff does.
Teams leave with a clearer sense of how handoffs fail and practical agreements for more reliable handoffs at work.
What your people take away
