Beyond the activity
What teams can take from the Gold Mine session
As the group works through managing limited resources in a mining simulation, choices have consequences for everyone involved. Participants can see how assumptions about priorities, risk and other people's decisions affect the result they create together.
Use the debrief to look at a real team decision: make trade-offs explicit, ask whose interests are represented and agree how the group will review its choice as new information arrives.
