The UW-MANIAC network is engaged in a wide array of innovative programming this fall, starting with last week's "Jammin' in the Fall" networking session and continuing with our first Breakfast Series event on October 12th at the Union.
"Stone Tool Making and Innovation: Old Technology and New Ways of Thinking" is Jeff Shokler's passion… How can a very old technology, chipped stone tool production, give us new ways to think about what we do and how we do it? Join us for a flintknapping demonstration and exploration of the insights and new/different ways of thinking this old process can reveal to us. If you don't get anything else out of it you'll still start the morning off with a "bang!" as you get to see someone break rocks and make sharp things!
The second part of our session will be a dialogue around the topic, "Harvesting Inter-generational Wisdom in the Workplace." Using Appreciative inquiry, an asset-based approach to understanding and addressing a wide range of issues, we will facilitate an initial conversation around this important topic effecting our workplaces. This idea was sparked at a spring MANIAC Café, and our plan is to explore innovative ways to build from the dialogue in future conversations.
