Ran a workshop today for the new Full-Time MBA group at Henley. It was a challenge to be up front and on my feet for what amounted to a full day, especially considering that this is a pretty mature and motivated bunch. I tried something new, at least new for use here at Henley, which was an activity called “Orchestra”. It was a whole-group activity in which they were required to organise themselves into sections of an orchestra and then create not just their instruments, but also an original piece of music, which they rehearsed and performed in front of staff and faculty.
It worked pretty well, and out of some chaotic preparation came some really original ideas and a good team spirit. The use of a vacuum cleaner, bag of lentils and a wheelie bin was inspired.
