    Bs Subarctic Survival Situation”™ Participant’s Booklet ba area mergistics Changing the World — One Organization at a Time Participant's Booklet or 30 3 = Cs SOS SCHEFFERVILLE {QUENEC- NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR CANADA 29° 60 Subarctic — Survival Simulation Series The Subarctic Situation It is approximately 2:30 p.m,, October 5, and you have just crash-landed in a float plane on the east shore of Laura Lake in the subarctic region of the northern. Quebec-Newfoundland and Labrador border. The pilot was killed in the crash, but the rest of you were not injured. Shortly after the crash, the plane drifted into deep water and sank with the pilot's body pinned inside. Each of you is wet up to the waist and perspiring heavily. The pilot was unable to contact anyone before the crash. However, ground sightings indicate that you are 30 miles (48 km) south of your intended course and approximately 22 air miles (35 km) east of Schefferville, your original destination and the nearest known habitation. The mining camp on Hollinger Lake was abandoned years ago when a fire destroyed the buildings. Schefferville (pop. 5,000) is an iron ore mining town approximately 300 air miles (483 km) north of the St. Lawrence, 450 miles (724 km) east of the James Bay/Hudson Bay area, 800 miles (1,287 km) south of the Arctic circle, and 300 miles (483 km) west of the Atlantic Coast. It is reachable only by air or rail, as all roads end a few miles from town. Your party was expected to return to Schefferville from northwestern Labrador no later than October 19. Your party filed a Flight Notification Form to that effect with the Department of Transportation via Schefferville radio. The immediate area is covered with smalll evergreen trees (1'4 to 4 inches [4 to 10 cm] in diameter). Scattered in the area are a number of hills with rocky and barren tops. Tundra (arctic swamps) makes up the valleys between the hills and consists only of small scrubs. Approximately 25 percent of the region is covered by long, narrow lakes which run northwest to southeast. Many streams and rivers flow into and connect the lakes. You are all dressed in insulated underwear, socks, heavy wool shirts, pants, knit gloves, sheepskin jackets, knitted wool caps, and heavy leather hunting boots. Collectively, your personal possessions include: $153 in bills, two half dollars, four quarters, two dimes, one nickel, three new pennies, one pocket knife (two blades and an awl which resembles an ice pick), one stub lead pencil, and an air map (shown on facing page). ‘Copyright © 2013 by Human Synergistcs Intemational. All Rights Reserved. Participant's Booklet The Challenge Before the plane drifted away and sank, you were able to salvage the 15 items listed on the next page. Your task is to rank these items according to their importance to your survival, starting with “1” for the most important to “15” for the least important. You may assume: * The number of people is the same as the number on your team. * You are the actual people in the situation. * The team has agreed to stick together. All items are dry and in good condition. STEP 1 Review the list of available items. Without discussing them with your team members, rank these items in the order of their importance to your team’s survival. Record your individual ranks in the column labeled “Step 1.” STEP 2 Now, as a team, reconsider the 15 items and agree on a new set of ranks. Your objective is to work toward a team solution that all members of your group can “live with” and are willing to support. Record your team ranks in the column labeled “Step 2.” Once team work begins, do not change your individual ranks. ‘Your team will have until o'clock to complete this step.

All Rights Reserved. Synergistic Problem-Solving Model Synergy occurs when the interactive efforts of two or more people have a greater impact than the sum of their independent efforts. Synergistic problem solving is achieved when groups maximize their use of available resources, knowledge, and task skills by exhibiting Constructive (as opposed to Defensive) interaction styles. It is further promoted when members approach problems in a rational, interpersonally supportive manner.” The outcome is an effective solution—one that is both accepted by members and of higher quality than their individual solutions.
