What is Ritual Reset?
Ritual Reset is a card from the Team Tactics deck by Pip Decks.
“If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be ‘meetings’.”, Dave Barry
Works well with Maker Time to help people do their craft, and Inclusive Meeting Playbook to make the most of your time.

How to use Ritual Reset
-
Draw the following grid on your workspace and ask the team to add all their rituals. Include team rituals, such as stand-ups and Community Of Practice. Add extra rows or columns as needed.
-
Ask the team to Private Vote which rituals could be removed completely.
-
Discuss each of the voted-for rituals, considering: what was the purpose of the ritual? Is anybody likely to miss important information if it is removed? What are the reasons for keeping this ritual? What could be done instead?
-
For the rituals you agree to remove, use Who, What, When to make it happen.
-
Use Inclusive Meeting Playbook to dig into the meetings that need to be improved.
