How the David and Goliath: Rethinking Advantage in Teams Workshop Works
A step-by-step breakdown of the workshop process
1Introduction
In this opening step, participants are invited to challenge their assumptions about advantage and disadvantage by sharing personal experiences of feeling like underdogs. This sets the stage for exploring the central message of the workshop, that success hinges on how challenges are approached rather than the resources available.
2The Underdog Advantage
Here, participants delve into three key principles from 'David and Goliath': Desirable Difficulties, Reframing Weakness, and Playing a Different Game. They split into groups to discuss how these principles manifest in their work and how they can leverage them for innovation and resilience.
3Reframing Team Challenges
In this phase, teams identify current challenges they face and reframe them using underdog thinking. Participants collaborate in small groups to uncover hidden strengths within their limitations, presenting their reframed challenges to the larger group for discussion.
