Learning Together
What are your burning questions?
What are the tensions, dilemmas, challenges you face as you work more collaboratively?
What leadership competencies are called forth?
How have you broadened your notion of who needs to be at the table and why?
What stories can you share about roaring successes and catastrophic failure?
Workshop Overview
An overarching framework: Plan, Act, Reflect Network Analysis: who’s in, what’s important
to them, how are folks connected? A Tested Planning Tool Learning from Success Building in feedback loops The work of ending
The work of an organization is always iterative. PlanningPlanning sets the context for ActionAction which is then the source of data for ReflectionReflection to guide further PlanningPlanning.
Network Analysis
1. Identify Stakeholders:– what concerns are central to them?– what resources can they bring? (political, financial, human)
2. Map their relationships: – to the focal work of the collaboration– to each other
3. Where do you and your organization fit?– What are your concerns?– What resources can you bring?– Who are your allies?
Get Clear Before You Get Moving
Do the hard and necessary work of formation: Who are we? What’s going on now? What do we want to achieve in the future? What are the principles that will guide our thinking,
actions, and decisions? What are the tensions & challenges ? What are the approaches we could take?
