Do corporations have too much time on their hands??
I want to know how to get into a position where I can just sit around thinking of a customer service activity. Especially one that involves the theme music to ‘Snakes on a Plane.’
As I had blogged previously my employer has incorporated daily Huddles. This is where we meet as a team in the very early am (urgh) to discuss the daily customer service idea. We are emailed the daily Huddle topics with a short scenario. Everyone in the team must alternate hosting the meeting.
Most of the times these meetings run dry w/ the host being (to be polite) dull. Well the HEAD HONCHO put out the challenge to hosting the meeting to the theme of ‘Snakes on a Plane’. You can actually win money ($100). Since my warsher just took a dump I so need the money. Of course I think this is ludicrous but fortunately I had a few drinks last night and so I’m feeling creative. BTW….at a level 2 today.
I so need to rise to the occasion on this challenge. However I need ideas. So, everyone needs to put on their thinking caps, become customer focused, and give lots of ideas. I need to WOW the HEAD HONCHO. So fellow bloggers what do you think???????????????

do you know what the topic is yet? or do you get to make up your own at this point?
Unfortunately I don’t know yet what the topic is. We will find that out later this evening. I just think people around here are smoking some good shit. Unfortunately they aren’t sharing.
Ok, let me know what the topic is and I will do my best to have several cocktails and come up w/ some grand ideas.
You could get fill up a pail w/ a bunch of snakes.. Have everyone grab from the bucket. The person who ends up w/ the biggest snake has to take their clothes off and run around the office....Or wait.. That's my work.
I am sure Chowder Head would love to participate in that one.
Divide the group into two teams. Stake out an area at least 15 feet or 20 feet across. This is the snake pit. Tell the group that the pit is too wide to go around. They will have to cross! Hand each group two or three bandanas and tell them the bandanas repel snakes and they will be safe as long as they don't step off the bandanas. Make sure for the first pass that neither group has enough bandanas to cross. They should come up just short. Don't mention that they can't work together. Usually they will just assume since you divided them into two groups that you expect them to compete. The truth is the only way they can cross is to work together. Have them rethink their strategy and try again as two groups working as one.
So...at the end ask them "why did it take a while to work together?" and "why isn't working together instinctive?"
Anywho...play the snakes on a plane song while they do it.
