How Can We Design an Experiential Activity for Top Management with an Entrepreneurial Twist?

Hi all, I'd like all possible help to create an experiential activity for Top Management, keeping "Working with an Entrepreneurial Attitude" as the theme. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Kaye

In my opinion, to establish the pilot phase of any specific design of the overall activity, you might require a benchmark for assessing the potential gap or alignment of the topic's ideology among every participant (this essentially refers to their beliefs, vision, and behavioral characteristics; both current and optimal).

If you agree with the suggestion, you can start with this mapping exercise itself, wherein a methodology like a 'Sociogram' can be created initially through Item Analysis & Selection and conducting a feasibility benchmark report among participants.

If you find the suggestion worthy of implementation and would need any assistance in pursuing it, please let the undersigned know.

Thank you for your reply. However, I'm not sure I understand. I'm looking for practical help, sharing, or suggestions on some activities I can use with regards to the above-mentioned module. I would appreciate anything in that realm in easier language 

In this context, a benchmark would mean: if you first wanted to understand and let participants have a look at whether the incumbents of personal traits, beliefs, behaviors, and other related aspects are in line with achieving or modeling "Entrepreneurial Attitude," which is desired by their organizational goals (team Goal). Basically, you're identifying what, why, and how these specific traits within each person are either coherent or incoherent to achieve the target: commonly agreed and desired Entrepreneurial Attitude. Socio-gram and Item Analysis/Selection are procedures to do the same.

Remember that the most important part of entrepreneurship is the willingness to take "personal risk." This trait sets them apart from leaders. I believe that the best way to ignite minds to adventure is to give them an opportunity to come up with a detailed business plan (including the economics involved) of a venture they would like as a "dream fulfillment."

You would be amazed by what they will come up with, and some may even take off! Please prepare your measurement indices of all behavioral traits you discover in the business plan and those observed during subsequent discussions.

Enjoy!

Thanks for your reply, and that's exactly what I'm aiming for! I do not want to buy content as that doesn't necessarily fit what we want to drive. Instead, self-made, customized solutions work better.

The problem is... I'm stuck at what socio-economic factors to provide them in today's fast-changing dynamics. Do you have any such activity that you can share which I can then rework to my group's needs? I would really appreciate that.

Best regards,
Kaye

Remember the 6 Thinking Hats! Use that, only... Create your own socio-economic factors for each hat. Each one more diverse than the other (also culturally), and presto! You have 6 different perspectives on a common issue. Just relax and have fun.
