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 77NCQ to record your insights.


ACTIVITY 2     Teaching as Learning

Use the chalkboard from the lab or create your own diagram to use as a visual aid. Teach 2-3 colleagues the systemic methods roadmap. What do you think is most important for them to learn? After each presentation, ask your colleagues what they learned. How did it match with your intention? What did you learn about the Systemic Methods roadmap?

 


ACTIVITY 3     Synopsis

Write up a short synopsis (1-3 paragraphs) of what happened in the lab activity focused on your organization. What is your sense about the top three areas where the organization would excel at the roadmap? What do you think the weakest area will be for the organization?
