Deir el-Medina: The Team Goal-Setting and Problem-Solving Game

An exploration of team roles Groups often fail to find solutions to solvable problems because they neglect the significance of specific roles and knowledge of other team members. Deir el-Medina is an engaging game designed to identify the various roles each team member plays during work processes and demonstrates how each position contributes to the group’s ability to accomplish goals, solve problems, and achieve success. How it works Based on factual records from the Egyptian collection and The British Museum in London, Deir el-Medina asks participants to work together to solve a realistic dilemma.
