Tried and true facilitation methods
SHOW ME THE CHANGE
Complexity and the Art of Evaluation – Reporting Sheet
Leader: Candice Bruce
Key Points:
• Ask for input – pose a question = ownership – outcome
• Run perpetual initiates
– normalise behaviour
• Develop trust
– Adaptation
– Solution focus
– Visuals – “in a perfect world?” Grading from 1 to 10
– where are you now? What are the good things and the learnings? What is one thing that you can do to move forward?
• Collective Social Learning Process – Professor Valerie Brown – “Leonardo’s Vision”
• Spacial marking (buy special chalk to mark on carpet) – participants step in and out
• Structured workshops
– home work before
– brain storming
– objectives – business plan
– options
– time frame
– post-it notes
• Action learning (W.I.L)
• Getting action at the end – pair up – what I’m going to do
– follow up in 2-3 weeks – accountable
• Never make a statement when you can ask a question
• Two ears, one mouth – listening – hear how you are being heard.
• Telling stories about our own journey
– photos – pick a picture you identify with and say why
– share with 1 other person
– then share with the table
• Disposable camera – photos of what are their favourite areas or their home
• Shared Resources:
– “Estelo” specialist training supplier Sydney
– Book – Climate Action – Diesendorf
– Edward de Bono – 6 Thinking Hats
– Storms of my grandchildren – Hanson
– The Rational Manager – Kepner and Tregoe
– “Kids Teaching Kids” Aaron and Richard Wood
– MS Project – Microsoft Excel
• Make time for individual reflection and to do visual stuff
– Role model deliberate actions
• Transition handbook – share slides – use art and participant centred
• Use of PCs – SKYPE – Web Cam – interactive learning solutions
• Conversation Tech World Café – small group, slightly different question
• Avoid Death by PowerPoint – ½ page is read by each – feedback to group
• Lend out lecture notes eg. Harvard – ask for question out of the lecture (day before) – get student to answer questions – 5 minute lecture
• Participants to present chapters in book
• Question – what is in it for them? List main outcomes – collect at beginning, everyone walks out satisfied
• Appreciative enquiry process
• Look for criteria – start where they are at
• Australia Standard on Governance – transition towns: Heart, Head, Hand, grassroots, self-sustaining
• Favourite warm up – yes, but = blocker, yes, and opens up possibilities
