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 52SKAX to record your insights.
ACTIVITY 2 Core Concept Expansion
Do a core concept expansion for the word trust. You can do this on a big sheet of paper, like a knowledge map, or you can write it out in sentence format.
- Write out the Lexical or Dictionary Definition and Etymology (optional)
- What is the opposite word?
- What is a synonym of the word? How are they different?
- How is this word used (and/or mis-used) in professional settings
- What is your first memory (or earliest feeling impression) of the word?
- What is the colloquial (everyday common) use of the word?
- Does the word evoke a color, shape, image, or heat (feeling)?
ACTIVITY 3 Synthesis
Spend 10-30 minutes quietly reflecting on this lab and the activities you explored. What new insights did you have about the nature of trust? What role do you play in creating trust in your organization? What role do others play?
Considering the two activities, what are your main takeaway thoughts about relationships and the nature of the work that you are doing in the world?
