What the team can practise
Share resources
During constructing a cardboard pyramid from coordinated 3D components, make material needs visible early so one team's progress does not block another's.
Design to a brief
Compare ideas against the agreed purpose and constraints before committing time to a single design.
Test and adapt
Try a small section first, notice what the test reveals, and revise before the group commits to the full result.
Connect contributions
Bring each person's component into the shared outcome and check that the pieces work together.
Review the build
Debrief which decision helped Pyramid move forward and which assumption the team had to revisit.

Beyond the activity
What teams can take from the Pyramid session
As colleagues work on constructing a cardboard pyramid from coordinated 3D components, they make their planning, resource choices and handoffs visible. Those moments give the facilitator a concrete way to discuss how a team turns individual contributions into something dependable.
Connect the activity to a real work project: agree what quality looks like, surface dependencies early and review a first version before the deadline makes change difficult.
