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 52SKAW to record your insights.


ACTIVITY 2     Synthesis

Spend 10-30 minutes reflecting on what you are learning. Review the chalkboard PDF. Review your knowledge map of your personal audit. Recall the audit of your organization. Note your insights, questions, extensions and potential new applications for using this framework.

 


ACTIVITY 3     Self Reflection

Consider the following questions. Write a 2-3 sentence self-reflection for each question.

What do you feel like at the end of your day when 95% of your day was doing, doing, doing?

Think back on a day when you were sunk into your feelings and didn’t arise from them all day. What was that like? How much energy did you have at the end of the day?

Even if you had a busy, active day – how was your day shaped or disciplined by your thinking, such that your intentions and plans for the day were implemented?  How did you feel at the end of the day?
