Challenge 

 I am a member of the leadership team in a Project Office for a large financial company . The leadership   team works with highly driven professional business analysts and project managers who are responsible   for delivering on both business and technology enhancements , improvements , regulatory and end of life   projects across the enterprise . A key challenge we face is maintaining our associate engagement in a   relatively flat structure ( 3 roles within the job family ) across three locations ( all within the United   States ) , with a variety of educational backgrounds , experiences , cultural influences and expectations . 

 Selection 

 We used a variety of tools to understand associate engagement gaps and perceptions to include : 

 •   Feedback gathering sessions – we pulled all associates together by site . We used a more senior ,   tenured associate to facilitate these sessions . The goal was to capture site specific themes and   we wanted to ensure open dialog which is why we did not include any members of the   leadership team . After the sessions , we reviewed the feedback for commonalities and themes .   •   Ideation Session – we solicited interest to participate in a cross - site Ideation Session . We wanted   to ensure that the associates had a desire to participate which is why we solicited for   volunteers . We selected from the volunteers to ensure that each site had representation .    •   Visualization – we facilitated the Ideation Session virtually using a Miro whiteboarding tool . We   used this tool because it was easy to share ideas on sticky notes virtually and it is a very   interactive tool . 

 Application 

 We began the Ideation Session by using different techniques to ensure the team was ready to   collaborate and their brains were ready to be creative . We started by reviewing the Muda – The 8   Wastes - to identify activities that do not add value to a process . We set some ground rules for   brainstorming such as , defer judgement , all ideas are welcome , build on ideas from others , be visual , go   for quantity . We warmed up our brains by playing a game called Disruptus – we shared a visual that was   telling a story and the group was challenged to come up with ideas to create , transform , improve or   disrupt what was displayed in 1 minute . We then used the Miro Board to conduct a brainstorming   activity where the group used sticky notes to capture as many problems ( not solutions ) as they could in   5 minutes . 

 Examples : 

 Following the brainstorming we conducted a show & tell + Affinity Group – each participant shared their   ideas in 1 minute . We grouped interrelated ideas to identify themes and used a multi - voting ,   prioritization exercise to vote on the most compelling business problems . We came away with 3   opportunities : 

 The Miro board was very effective in our virtual setting and the team was highly engaged because the   tool is very interactive . 

 Insight 

 All participants came away from this session feeling that they were able to share all of their opinions and   all opinions were valued . The tool created a very open , collaborative environment . It also allowed for   the group to prioritize what is most important to them . We achieved a lot in two hours and came away   with specific opportunities to drive engagement .
