The exercise had an hidden agenda of Organizational Management and Teamwork.
The task at hand required a group of three people to move from left side of the valley to the right side with the help of a pole. The task demanded a good conceptual knowledge of the problem at hand & building an effective strategy to be implemented to solve the problem.
For the success of the Valley Crossing problem, the key ingredient was coordination among team member & efficient execution of the strategy devised.
KEY TAKE AWAY FROM THE EXERCISE :
Leadership – different from the tradition approach of an authoritarian team leader.
Proper Communication – Communication is the key to crossing the valley effectively.
Trust Factor – Every person needed to trust each other completely especially when their feet was off the ground.
Conflicts Management – dealing with conflict openly and transparently and not allowing grudges to build up and destroy team morale.
Goals – The goals were clear, defined and each member in the team fully understood the gravity of the problem.
Coordination- Finally the most important of them all was coordination that was the sole reason for our success.

ISSUES:
Speed of the 3 valley crosser's should be synchronized.
Speed of the 3 valley crosser's should be synchronized.
· Real Time Communication should be there among them - where they could communicate to each other how and what steps to be taken while crossing the valley.
·
Gap Size between any pair should be uniform.
·
Interdependence among the crosser's should be there.
The procedure followed is shown below:
At one point of time each one of them will be in different situation either safe, half safe and fully unsafe. There come nine steps which they have to follow to cross the valley.
