Last week's second incarnation of the Innovation and Collaboration Learning Cafe was a resounding success, as participants engaged in a great series of activities to help them improve their innovative capacities. Craig has contributed some great pix of the event:
There was a session on the art of storytelling with Miranda McLenaghan that really gave people a sense of the special craft that it is, as well as how sharing a story can be a useful approach to diseminating creative ideas in an innovation effort.
Craig and Harry shared the GROW Partnership Coaching Model with another group that was focused on specific dilemmas and challenges, with the result that most of them found the model to be useful and helped get them 'unstuck' with some key issues. In addition, the group innovated with the model, transforming it into "GROWL" by adding a Learning step!
The group then engaged in its first 'clubhouse' activity: Watching some inspiring TED videos! The group chose from eight options, formed small clusters, and gained some great insights from the stories that were shared. We then brought everyone back together in four 'mixed' groups to share their insights and consider how to apply all of the morning's learning to their workplaces.
Not a bad morning, folks! Thanks for all of your efforts!
-Harry
