Some time ago we had a meeting where two sides of the meeting didn’t understand each other. The topic is not very relevant here as it was a software engineering topic.
What I enjoyed the most in the meeting and what amazed me were the analogies used there. They were so good that I even took note. Without going into details the different analogies:
- train with a wiggly car
- zebra embryo
- serving non-cooked food
- digging a hole
- ship that sinks
- oil tanker
- a working screw
- the car and the working screw
- pants and trousers
- knitting trousers
I was really amazed by my colleagues’ imagination. And it also showed that the analogies don’t work if the different parties don’t want to understand each other.
