Workshop
from 5-8 January 2004 to determine “ |
TEAM RULES * Respect each other's
contributions. * Encourage change and promote
knowledge in ways that benefit * Share credit and responsibility
for results. * Collaborate on all phases of
the work - keep others informed. * Treat each team member
ethically and with respect. * Utilize team members' strengths and expertise. The Workshop as a strategy 'boiler' Strategy is evolutionary; all the
answers will never be known. It is important
to start. Create an environment to increase
the number of insights. Ensure that all ideas are placed
on the table before evaluation of these ideas
commences. Increase the probability of the
better insights rising "up the system" to influence
decision-making. Focus on key principles and avoid
detail. (quote: "Simple" inventions such as the wheel, printing press, or
transistor lead to "complex" offshoots such as
automobiles, cellular phones, electronic publishing, and computing. Focus on identifying the simple
creative breakthroughs). (but
that is not the end) Create options for the future,
and avoid jumping to a preferred option too soon. Do not be fixated on a particular
solution. There are many good solutions. Bet on multiple horses: apply
multiple strategies - you never know in advance
which is going to work. The past is often a poor
predictor of the future. Avoid making decisions based on
perceived patterns, behaviours, or attitudes of the past. People are
constantly changing. What is being attempted is a
living system: it will grow only if there are sufficient
synergies and opportunities for individual growth. Provide participants with an
opportunity to create a unique and exciting future
in which they can share. Bring in new people (fresh blood)
and increase new conversations; do not talk to
the same people on the same subject all the time. Those in direct contact
with the 'ground' often have the best insights. Experiment with the smaller "projects" and gain feedback from the market. |
