I am a firm believer that most organizational problems can be solved by playing with Post-It® Notes. Thank you 3M.
When dealing with complex problems we tend to have a fixed viewpoint. When we are in the middle of a mess we can't see the path out. When we are stuck in “that's the way we've always done it”, we do not see the benefit of change. The beauty of the Post-It® Note is its simplicity and movement. Nothing is fixed, experimentation is easy and “do overs” are no problem - you can always move the item back to the original location. It is non-threatening, engaging and fun – even for introverts. It is also highly effective.
