This exercise will help you realise the power of effective communication!
Through it, you'll have to map out some of your organisation's challenges, whether they take place at the corporate- or consumer-level, and together with your team, you should rapidly brainstorm creative methods of using communication techniques to overcome them

As usual, all of these perspectives should be considered from a sustainability perspective.
Through this exercise, we'll also introduce you to a few techniques for getting creativity flowing!

Communication Techniques as an Effective Solution.pdf
Effective communication skills are essential for successful relationships and for the timely achievement of goals. If you communicate effectively, people are often more inclined to work with you and help you reach them.
Below you can see some of the benefits of communicating effectively:
Sometimes, finding the creativity you need can be hard, time-consuming and demotivating. That's why, together with the template above, we wanted to suggest to you a number of different techniques that can help you find the inspiration you need!
Having these ideas in mind, let's have a look at the different parts that the template has:
The idea in this first part of the template is for you and your team to collectively brainstorm on the different challenges that your DMO faces in regard to communication.
To help you narrow and cluster the ideas, we have divided the area into corporate challenges and consumer challenges. You should dedicate between 5-10 minutes to allow everyone to write down their thoughts on these two challenging areas, after which the ideas should be grouped and discussed to identify those that seem more pressing and urgent to solve.
You can use the following sets of questions to guide you in writing down challenges:
Corporate Challenges:
Consumer Challenges:
The Crazy Eights exercise is a rapid one that will make you and each of your team members brainstorm 8 solutions in 8 minutes. The idea behind it is that by all focusing on a chosen challenge, in eight minutes each of you will come up with eight solutions for it.
Once everyone has come up with eight solutions and has sketched them, the drawings should be included on the template. The objective will then be to discuss the different proposed solutions, allowing to generate conversations that will help further the possibility of implementing them.
Once they have been revised, the next step is for each member of the team to vote on the two ideas they consider to be best. This will allow focusing on a number of the proposed solutions and on their possible implementation within the DMO's strategy.
Great ideas don't arise from nowhere. Often times, creative thinkers look at common things in uncommon ways. In fact, new concepts are rarely wholly original. So, with this exercise, the idea is to help you look at different yet analogous worlds for inspiration, by asking the question What would _____ do?This will allow your team to break from conventional thinking and jump-start your team's creativity.
The activity challenges you to investigate how a successful organisation outside your domain would approach a given issue. For example, if your team were tasked with changing the visitors' behaviours you might ask: What would The Four Seasons do?
Doing so requires a deep understanding of their culture, practices and procedures, in order to determine what aspects can be appropriated for your purposes. Adopting the perspective of a completely different domain is a novel way to shift perspective and uncover potentially breakthrough ideas.
The first step will require you to settle on a challenge to explore. Once you have done this, you can have a look through the different proposed organisations and add new suggestions. Afterwards, use the right-side area to add notes and ideas regarding the actions of the organisations you have chosen to focus on. Write down those initiatives you could implement within your DMO to improve your communication in regard to sustainability.
