Adam Sand describes using a random team generator with simple constraints to pair people who don't normally work together. The method avoids same-team pairings, mixes Foundation and RBP groups, and diversifies roles to break silos and spark unexpected collaborations.
I don't know, what was your process? You came up with a— the teams you came up with were amazing because we had everybody worked with someone that they don't usually work with, and we also had some last-minute surprises.
Yes, so what I actually did was I— another teaching hack— I plugged in and used like a random team generator. So I plugged in all of our teammates and set up I want partners and did it randomly. And then from there, I kind of took a look at it and made sure that there was not a mixture or that there weren't pairings with 2 people from the same team if it could be helped, because I wanted to really merge Foundation and RBP. I also wanted people from different roles. So I started random and then I just made sure very small things, rules were in place.
