The Lost Dutchman’s Gold Mine

The Lost Dutchman’s Gold Mine: this fmi*igf session was about competition, collaboration, team building, and mining as much ‘gold’ as possible. As much as groups say they are a team and collaborate, the fact is most groups compete for resources. Facilitated by Randy Shuttleworth, participants were divided into teams and engaged in a game where the object is to find the Lost Dutchman’s mine and mine as much gold as possible. The key to winning was good planning and working together. Outcomes of the event were learning to collaborate and breaking down information silos!
