Learning Objectives

This exercise highlights the importance of effective and clear communication. An architect has to describe a structure to a messenger (who cannot see the structure), the messenger has to relay the information on to the builders who have to replicate the structure. It is a useful exercise as it highlights how effectively individuals are at managing information and communication in their own jobs. It can also highlight personality types when used in conjunction with the Myers Briggs indicator as people process information differently and when working within a team this must be taken into account so that communication is processed effectively. Therefore this exercise concentrates on team members being considerate and aware that their fellow colleagues may not process information in the same way that they do. It highlights the importance of checking that communication within the work place has been understood.
