what

Was there a leader on your team? Who was it and who decided who the leader would be?

If you had no leader, do you think having designated someone a leader would have helped?

How helpful was everyone on your team in challenging the process of building the tallest
structure? Did anyone appear to be an expert?

Did any team members tune out of the activity out of frustration with other members or for
some other reason? What could you have done to keep all members of the group fully engaged?

Did you feel everyone's ideas were well received during the activity?

How did you feel as the time limit was approaching? Did pressure increase? If yes, was that helpful
or not?

In retrospect, what could you have done better to enhance your ability to Challenge the Process?

Did you practice outsight? Where might new ideas have come from given your time constraint?

Did you celebrate small wins? If yes, how did you do this?
