Tips For Formulating Your Strategy...


Want to win the Office Olympics? Then you need to do a bit of strategizing.

Strategy #1 — Know Thy Stuff -- That's the best strategy. To be successful in the OO, every one of your team members needs to have a high level mastery of our office. Team members will be randomly selected for tasks, and while you can help your team mates , there will be no substitutions.

Strategy #2 — In the Relay game, your team will determine the order of your activities in two ways:
1. You will determine the order in which your team will compete. Each team member will get a name tag with a letter on it A, B, C, D, E or F. These letters will correspond with tasks on the Sequence Cards you receive
2. Sequence Cards will be issued in labeled, sealed envelopes. Prior to the start of the game, each team will select the order in which they will tackle the envelopes. For instance, you may choose to do the Emergency Sequence first while another team tackles the Paper Towel Sequence first. Personally, I would order my envelopes to try and stay out of bottle necks and log jams — but that's just me

Strategy #3 — Take advantage of bonus points. If you look over past emails and the blog, you will find two ways to earn bonus points for your team. Hint: One has to do with the blog, the other has to do with the lunch.

That's it for now.

PS -- you might want to walk through the office and find out what we keep in the various files and closets around the office. A few of the activities were not included in the Blog Daily Tip. That said, some of the Daily Tips will not appear in the game.
