Hi Victoria.  The two concepts I've used with some success (in person and
online) are  'what if?' and 'created scenario'.  'What if?' puts attenders
in specific organizational roles and asks them to imagine themselves
solving a problem, developing a product, service or idea, or making
recommendations.  'Created scenario' is an alternative, much like a
mini-case.  Both have the potential to be used by individuals or groups,
and their greatest asset is the ability to link concepts and practices
with dominant or interesting issues.    Hope these suggestions help.
