Let’s use Dr. Pollatos as an example. She wanted to double her production for a weakly scheduled (disastrous) day. She gave her team 2.5 days to get there (the timeline). Immediately after announcing the contest at their weekly staff meeting (the short notice), Dr. Pollatos’ team got to work making phone calls. The prospect of cash, scratch tickets, gift cards, and other goodies (the prizes) looming at the end of their 2.5-day challenge and the push to beat the goal was enough to motivate her hardworking team to increase the practice’s daily production more than fivefold! Start by buying some blank, white poker chips and prizes. These prizes don’t have to be huge, but they should be something your staff will want to work for. Think gift cards (these are cheaper when you purchase them in large quantities), lottery scratchers, coffee shop cards, lunch certificates, and cold, hard cash. Anywhere between $10–100 is a good total for each prize. Next, write a prize on 20 poker chips. You can write the same prize on more than one chip, but only write your most expensive and top prize on one chip (e.g., one chip must have $100 written on it, whereas two or three chips might have “$25 Starbucks Gift Card,” or “Five $2 Scratch Tickets” written instead). Create more chips for the lower cost prizes, and stash the chips in the bowl. Now, get ready for the fun. The day Forrest Gump Bingo begins at your office, start tracking the numbers that come filtering in. Rally your team to keep doing better and bigger, even going so far as to surpass your goal! STEP 3: TIME TO PLAY BINGO
staff waits to see what the prize will be. (Dr. Pollatos’ staff was overjoyed when the TOP PRIZE was drawn right away! How fun and invigorating for that team!) Every staff member is awarded with the same prize drawn out of the bowl, and the remaining prizes are saved for a future Forrest Gump Bingo game.
INCENTIVE TO BLOW AWAY THE GOAL
Although we shoot for 75% likelihood that the goal can be achieved, what happens if they blow it away? In fact, what incentive is there for them to far exceed the goal? We recommend that you set multiple goals, the easiest of which has a 75% chance of success and returns a single poker chip (thus one prize) drawn. You may choose to set three goals. If they hit the second goal, they pull two chips (thus every team member gets those two prizes). And, if they hit or exceed the top goal, then three chips are drawn and those same three prizes awarded to each team member. Finally, REPEAT Forrest Gump Bingo (every month or two on a sporadic unpredictable timetable) to help motivate your team to deploy and master other Gems. There are many examples: number of implants or Invisalign sold in a week, number of unscheduled recall patients reached by phone and scheduled, number of WHALYAS performed in three days etc. … Your only limit is your imagination!
