Rethinking Our Workflow with Agile Principles
Suggesting rethinking, redesigning or reevaluating processes around workflows, organization, and employees. As part of the Agile people community, enrolled in Agile HR training, where as part of it, I was introduced to Meddlers games and Happiness door games, and knew nothing about until then. Since sharing is always practice, this game concept seemed like a good thing to be presented in our company.
The Meddlers Game: A Tool for Organizational Clarity
As we tried to figure out the concept of the game, we indeed were able to re-design and plan our organizational structure. Significantly to understand each other’s roles in the organization. Now that we had hats pictures to symbolize them, it was much clearer.
The Meddlers game made it visible to realize what our organization looks like and what is needed for the future.
The game itself is very interesting, yet there are no specific rules, no winners, or losers. The Meddlers game gave us insight into where we stand and what we should do next. The most interesting part was that it opened our minds to different perspectives and opportunities we might grasp, to be more flexible and effective.
Fostering Openness with the Happiness Door
As an addition to our office but not limited to it, we also created a happiness door. A happiness door is a place where you stick a note expressing mood. The effect of seeing other people’s feelings, thoughts or attitudes is priceless.
Especially varieties of funny interpretations while reading them thus some were replying. This encourages employees to share and express themselves whenever they feel like it. Indeed, this tool and approach is a happiness motivator, boosting interactions and contributing to a positive culture.
