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.
  • ...

SUNNI BROWN (Gamestorming): Visual Thinking and Facilitation. Course(s) in Bilbao (and near) soon

Do you want to collaborate in the organization of this great meet-up?

Sunni Brown, author of Gamestorming will be spending some months in Paris and we are organizaing a workshop on her expertise. Some thoughts regarding it...
1. A 4 morning or evening course could be good. Incubating time in between meet-ups is usually helpful. Maybe Tu, Th, Fr, Sa ; maybe better Fr-eve, Sa, Su, Th or so,... we'll see. We could arrange the accomodations in homes of the organizing time, quite sure.
2. First it'll be to find some support and people interested in it. It's my first time in this kind of mediation business... As Sunni says, where there is a will there is a way. Good!
3. Potential attendees we´re thinking about...
Consultants
Facilitators

People in these fields:
Creativity
Innovation
Media & Publishing
Education
Art (people looking for other business opportunities)
...

         Are we right? Any other suggestions?
4. We asked Sunni a short note on the kind of workshop she would offer. Any other suggestions from anyone reading this post will also be so welcome, sure!

5. Collaboration: we could ourselves run a part of the workshop regarding mind mapping (we have some expertise in it). We could also translate parts, but I think it best having it for English speaking/understanding people -not so usual here-. It would be a pity losing Sunni´s humour and the momentum through translations,...
We´ll keep on with this dream-idea and let you know if sth flourishes...

Enjoy life :-)!
