The egg drop activity was definitely a lot of fun after a busy long day...To drop an egg from a certain height without causing any damage to it, was a challenging objective. My team and i, in trying to reach that goal, we put a four steps plan.
1- We defined the ultimate objective, what we want to reach and what is the time frame to do so.
2- We identified the permitted resources and discussed all the possible scenarios that satisfy our objective.
3- We selected two action alternatives that fit our resources and time constraint.
4- From those two alternatives in step3, we chose the best one and laid out the whole action plan.
5- We implemented the plan, made corrections along the way and considering the time frame.
Even though, we followed all the steps in the planning process and we were five managers, we didn't reach the objective. you know, they say all the time, luck helps the prepared but this time luck just wasn't there.
How did you manage to go through so many scenarios in such a short time? my group barely had time to go through 2 alternatives! and how on earth did you manage to revise your plan in the short 10 minutes we had to construct it?!
