Gallery Walk: Small Group Activity Example

Overview of the example

This is a small group activity for a finance basics course designed for pre-leaders. The course itself was a 4-hour course, delivered to a class size of approximately 100 participants.

This activity follows a discussion on shareholder value.

While the course was attended by future leaders across the organization, participants were grouped by departments for this particular activity. This allowed participants to identify improvement opportunities within their job function.
