In this exercise participants work individually or in teams to sort a pack of specially designed ‘cards’ into categories following selected instructions carefully.

Originally designed to test and develop attention to detail and accuracy, the exercise can also be used as an energiser to develop teamwork, goal setting and process improvement.

The exercise can also be used to show reactions to change and is a particularly effective tool for demonstrating the transition curve and in particular the effect change has on short term performance.

Filing Frenzy is normally run as a series of intermittent energisers, with each ‘round’ taking about 10 minutes to run.
