💁♀️ "Who should we ask for help?"
🤷 "What do they want from us?""
🤦♂️ "Why do we need to collaborate again?"
Sounds familiar? The three core interaction modes (#Collaboration, #XaaS, #Facilitating) help frame expectations and purpose to guide teams and focus their interactions, saving time and avoiding frustrations.
Learn why open-ended collaboration just doesn't work in our 3h self-paced @TeamTopologies Distilled course 🎓 from Manuel Pais & Matthew Skelton. https://bit.ly/3glIZxR
Today will be a long day, doing some of my favourite things. First, a farmers market trip. Then this afternoon, #facilitating a #writing group for the yearlong writing course I’m teaching, then facilitating the #trans and #nonbinary #narrativetherapy practitioner group, which will have a couple new members joining. (Yay!) Then breakfast burritos for dinner. My pain is high, but this is my favourite kind of work so I’ll medicate and do my best and I’m looking forward to it anyway.
We often use the words “#coaching,” “#mentoring,” “#teaching,” and “#facilitating” informally. We may say that we're being coached on how to become a better golfer, or that the person managing the agenda in a meeting is the meeting's facilitator. But once we investigate these practices, we discover that each has characteristics [...], and that our casual uses of those words were probably incorrect in their eyes.

Loved #facilitating this Thought Experiment so much I thought I would create a case study with it!

I am participating right now in group #decisionmakingandproblemsolving on logistics and workshop design & content. I am having a fascinating experience that I want to analyze and debrief with someone. #facilitating
Working on getting better at hosting and facilitating meetings. Any good blog post or book recommendations out there?
#iOSDev #meetings #management #facilitating #recommendations
Things I need to learn about:
-#BuildingSafety, #IndoorAirQuality, #MoldRemediation, how close to a building is it ok for trees to be?
-Setting up #cooperative business entity and redistributing ownership to multiple parties. #WorkerOwnership
-#Facilitating meetings and making actionable proposals.
I would hashtag this but I don't even know the best terms for some of those topics. [Edited to add some.]
In a previous post, I argued that #designers need #skills to become business-savvy #analysts and synthesizers if they want to influence #strategy, and I suggested four: #ThoughtLeadership, #facilitating #DecisionMaking, #ProjectManagement, and #StakeholderManagement.
In this post, I argue why Thought Leadership is critical for designers to become good #strategists who are better prepared to influence #BusinessDecisions.
