Activity 1 – Accelerating Knowledge Sharing

Each Catalytic Thinking Lab is supported by a WindTunneling project. WindTunneling is a systemic methodology to accelerate learning and knowledge sharing. Share what you learned from the lab transparently and anonymously. Compare your thinking and respond to the ideas of others. Everyone gets to see every idea; no one knows who shared which idea.

Go to WindTunneling. Use Project Code 23ACAM to record your insights.

 


Activity 2 – Practice Sharing Your Thinking

Give your 2-3 minute presentation individually to 3-5 more people. Practice sharing your reasoning in a conversational style. This is an opportunity for you to practice speaking about your reasoning with people who were not in the course.

 
What questions do they have? Make notes of each conversation. How does this help you present your ideas and thinking more clearly? How does this also potentially revise your reasoning about your opportunity?

 


Activity 3 – Individual Synthesis Practice

Spend 10-30 minutes reflecting on the Big Green Hand Skills and Applied Critical Thinking. Review any of your work from the labs. What questions do you have? What insights have you made? Which elements of the Big Green Hand will help you develop your professional competencies? How does the thread of Intellectual Humility tie all of these elements together?
