Vision Tower

This is fast, physical team exercise about building together, adapting to change, and achieving shared goals. It highlights how organizations must adapt mid-process while maintaining teamwork and vision.

The activity works best early or mid-program (after some warming up), or when you want energy but also force collaboration and flexibility. It is also best when introducing topics like teamwork, adaptability, strategic alignment.

Instructions:

• Form teams of 5–8 members.

• Provide limited materials: 5 sheets of paper, 1 meter of tape, 2 straws, and 1 rubber band.

• Teams must build the tallest freestanding tower in 10 minutes.

• Midway at 5 minutes, announce a twist: two neighboring teams must merge and combine their structures into one.

• After time’s up, measure towers.

Processing Suggestions:

Ask: "What changed when you had to merge? How did your plans adapt?"

Reflect: How easy was it to communicate mid-task? How does this mirror real collaboration challenges?
