Has anyone undergone a similar experience before?

I've interim-managed a bunch of orgs in need of strategic realignment, where I'd hire people to organize things like this. We'd make it a whole day or in some cases even a couple, and work through it, depending on the markup of the group, in games and brown paper sessions, or we'd ask for presentations and shoot, then consolidate.

How will you describe the vibes of your organisation?

My "org" now is bots. Lots of bots. They are all dumb af and make me micromanage everything. The precise vibe is: exhausting. But thanks to the micromanagement, we get shit done. So the vibe is also: productive.

we maintained a standing position for about 45 minutes

Gives a whole new meaning to "thinking on your feet".

PS:

  1. How did you feel about this?
  2. Do you truly think it was candid?
  1. I would have preferred to have a free afternoon because we didn’t really discuss anything substantial after the organisational narrative. We wrote some ideas on post-it notes, passed some stickers on the ideas we liked and that’s it. Not much coherence between the narrative and the suggestions, you know
  2. I believe that the sharing was sincere — but did people truly make themselves vulnerable and give timely inputs? Nope
