1. what would you do?

   give the delegates an case study where they have a choice of actions (not necessarily spelled out to them) and the action they choose will be dependant upon their business ethics…..eg stand up for the shareholder the customer or the staff member?

   These can be very good tests of exisiting corporate culture or ways to tease out values from the people present

2. Culture Games

   Hi Ivy, there is a cultural activity which is great fun here (http://www.spectrainshop.co.uk/Exploring-Cultural-Differences-Group-Activity-p/29.htm)

   based on 2 very different group coming together for a meal it enables exploration of the values, rules and practices of the other culture and it all happens during a meal followed by a group discussion.

3. Thank you Rus

   Rus,

   Thank you so much for sharing this. I am very grateful for taking time to share. I would develop a case study. I had used to Johari Window model to explore the visibility of the values in the employees.

   A case study will bring some more learning. Thank you so much again.

4. Thank you Joy

   Joy,

   Thanks alot. Very grateful. Would you have a copy you could send me. Its not very easy to purchase materials on line in Ghana.

   I am also using the johari window model to have employees assess themselves and others how visible are they showing the values in their work.

   Very grateful for the response.

5. I’ve done something similar

   I've done something similar with our corporate values which comprise of 5 one word statements.

   In the exercise, delegates work in groups to first discuss what the words mean to them and then produce good and bad examples of each statement – focusing on internal and external interactions.
