Pure unstructured mingling rewards extroverts. Speed networking levels the field: everyone gets the same time, the same prompts, and the same chances to meet new people. Best for retreats that mix multiple offices or teams that don't normally overlap.
How to run it
- 1
Pair people with someone they don't normally work with.
- 2
Show prompt 1 on screen ('What's the project you're proudest of this year, and why?').
- 3
Three minutes per pair. A bell rings, rotate, new prompt.
- 4
Run five rotations total. Debrief in groups of 8 about who they want to follow up with.
