The Wardrobe
What’s In Our Organization’s Wardrobe?
Step 1
Work in groups of 3-4 people. Draw your organization’s wardrobe.
What are the items that live in your organization’s wardrobe?
What lives in the group’s consciousness of itself?
How do people new to the organization learn about these items?
What past experiences affect how you work today?
What are the stories that you tell about different parts of your wardrobe.
How do your different garments influence who you think you are in the world, how you do business, and how you perceive others in your network?
Step 2
What would happen if you began to acknowledge the parts of your organization’s wardrobe that need to go in the bin?
What would it take to do that and hit the reset button?
