GAMESTORMING+DOODLING WORKSHOP (SUNNI BROWN). BILBAO: 22+23 Spt

Some months ago we were inspired with taking Sunni Brown to Bilbao to share a bit of her knowledge and her originality. Next week it´s coming true: on 22nd +  23th September she´ll be offering a 2 day workshop in Bilbao (just this opportunity in South Europe)...


DESCRIPTION:  Gamestorming your Workplace (A.k.a., How to Design and Run a Meeting using Words AND Pictures)


Since the vast majority of us have to either plan or attend meetings, why not become a Jedi at designing and running them? The simple but revolutionary techniques of visual thinking and gamestorming assure that your meeting not only doesn’t stink, but that you make the best use of everyone’s time and dramatically shorten the length of time in which you do it. The value of visual thinking and participatory design with a group is enormous and the benefits include...

  • Using a simple, shared visual language to increase understanding and information retention;
  • Applying improvisational discovery to keep participants engaged;
  • Mapping the big picture, solving problems and innovating as a team;
  • Creating visual meeting artifacts to drive decisions forward.
You don’t need to be a rocket scientist or an artist of any caliber to learn how to design and lead better meetings. In this day-long workshop, you’ll learn the fundamentals of visual language, how to illuminate complexities by mapping the big picture and how to use improvisation and games to innovate and solve real problems. At the end of the workshop you’ll feel more confident about using visualization in meetings and you’ll recognize the power of doing so. So let the games begin!
OBJECTIVES: Upon completion of this workshop, learners will be able to:
  • Recognize when to have a meeting (and when not to);
  • Design meeting agendas that move a group to a desired outcome;
  • Use games to support innovation and creative problem-solving;
  • Leverage techniques that lead to co-creation and team solutions;
  • Lead meetings, workshops, and group sessions comfortably using visual thinking and basic office supplies.
  • ...

UNLOCKING THE CREATIVE POWER OF TEAMS: 30 September 2010 in London

 Jack Martin Leigh, from THE SAMURAI, sent this piece of information to the OSLIST.

 Would this meeting help you?

Living and working in ever more volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous times means that our old and trusted ways of working are no longer working. Doing what we have always done will only create the same but a little different. And this is not enough!


Having begun our series with an experiment into what it means to 'build and lead cultures of innovation', this second Creative Dialogue will experientially explore the conscious and unconscious dynamics and capacities of creative teams - the core forum from which nearly all innovation and change emerges.
Royal Designer of Industry, multiple Digital Award winner, RSA fellow and BAFTA panelist, Simon Waterfall, and executive leader, chairman, adjunct professor and board member of INSEAD, Vivienne Cox, will give their Evocative Talks, setting the context for an inspiring and generative dialogue.

Enjoy life!

ART OF HOSTING: Bowen Island (Canada); october 2010

I just received this message from Chris Corrigan to the OSLIST. It seems a great choice to meet people and learn about hosting and some other creativity enhancing stuff.
Please consider joining us on Bowen Island, BC, Canada for an Art of Hosting October 3-6, 2010.  On the hosting team will be Chris Corrigan, Teresa Posakony, Caitlin Frost and Tenneson Woolf.  Pass along to your networks or to anyone you know interested in this opportunity.


As well as working with and learning about participatory process (Open Space, World Cafe and Circle)  living systems, and chaordic design, in this Art of Hosting retreat we will be working extensively with harvesting, with change models currently being developed by the Berkana Institute, with Byron Katie's inquiry work focusing on limiting beliefs and with some improv theatre exercises.  There will also be juggling practice and musical evenings as well as great food and magnificent views from the top of an 800 foot mountain overlooking the Salish Sea.  Lots of inquiry and embodiment to support the personal practices of hosting, facilitation and leadership held in a retreat centre that emphasizes reflection and contemplation. More info here.
Feel free to give us a call if you have any questions.

Hope you can join us.

Cheers,

Chris and Caitlin
