LOST IN TRANSLATION is a dynamic and engaging team-building exercise designed to highlight the importance of clear communication, active listening, and collaborative problem-solving.
Participants are divided into two categories: Specifiers and Artists. The Specifiers are responsible for transmitting information, while the Artists must reproduce a specific drawing based solely on the instructions provided by the Specifiers. This activity progresses through three distinct stages, each emphasizing different modes of communication.
The game involves steps such as:
Written Communication (No Feedback or Clarification)
Oral Communication (No Feedback or Questions Allowed)
Two-Way Communication (Feedback and Dialogue Permitted)
Each more engaging and insightful within the subtleties of communication.
