Lisa,
This is an activity I've used in the past that works very well:
- Divide into 4 teams. Each team selects a leader/facilitator for the activity
- Each team is assigned one of the four quadrants of SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats)
- Teams brainstorm and record issues that fit into their assigned SWOT quadrant
- Debrief is performed by the team leader
The great thing about this activity is that it can actually be used to meet the requirements of clause 4.1 of ISO 9001 (and other standards based on ISO 9001)
