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 44DSJ  to record your insights.

 

Activity 2 – Short Essay

Write a short essay, 3-5 paragraphs, about the activity Imagining Associative Economics. What are the implications for business and sustainability? Do additional research and add at least two further references to your essay. Consider posting this essay as a blog.

 

Activity 3 – Give a Presentation

Continue to refine your map Imagining Associative Economics. Think through all of the questions and hone your answers.

 

Use this map to create a 3-minute presentation about your social innovation / initiative. Consider making a fresh copy of your map to bring clarity to your presentation.

 

Give the presentation at least two times to different audiences. Your audience size can vary (1 person is fine). After each presentation, ask your audience for their insights or any questions that they have after listening to you.

 

Integrate the feedback onto your map. Has any of your thinking changed that you shared in your presentation?
