It could definitely work well in a professional services firm. If it isn't working, that would be interesting. I'd just apply different twists - try dinners or other events that different teammates could do and that the company could sponsor. Robert,

Thanks for your comment. It could definitely work well in a professional services firm. If it isn’t working, that would be interesting. I’d just apply different twists – try dinners or other events that different teammates could do and that the company could sponsor.

Such a great way to promote teamwork and keep morale up. In professional services firms, I think this is an excellent way to promote cross selling of the firm's services simply by employees getting to know what others do. I do wonder what you would suggest if such a policy is implemented and very few participate? I really like this idea. Such a great way to promote teamwork and keep morale up.

I am sure the system can be applied to bigger companies, but it seems to work really well in the mid-sized companies. Bill: Glad you found it enjoyable. The program definitely makes it a bit less awkward and more common to invite someone you don't know out to lunch. Benjamin: It would be.

For some, it may be hard to get to know many people beyond the handful they work with each day. It might be awkward inviting a fellow employee out to lunch if you do not know them. But with a program, the potential for creepiness is greatly diminished. Thanks for sharing. I really like this idea.
