№ 36 | Facilitator Card Decks, Drivers of Change, Foresight & Strategy, FutureCast, and Notes on Remote Working
Facilitator card decks
Roundup alert! So I did a thing… I searched for the hashtag ‘CardDecks’ on LinkedIn, and discovered a bunch of posts by Rachel Davis, including this ”list of card decks” (which “has both decks you can purchase and ones you can download for free.”)
Drivers of change
Short piece on “Initiating Organization Change: Practical Tips for Activating Awareness.” I appreciate tip two, for giving language to 3 different drivers of change: Situational, Developmental, Volitional.
Foresight & strategy
Visual language FTW! In this article is a nice, concise “Graphical Representation of the Relation Between Foresight & Strategy.”
Speaking of foresight…
FutureCast!
Here’s an interesting find: A micro-site devoted to a specific forecasting method, designed to “help you and your team explore risks and opportunities in an election context by engaging various stakeholders in thought-provoking and inclusive discussion.”
It’s not a ready to play game; as with many facilitation activities, you have to provide specific content. But, it’s solid scaffolding, with plenty of supporting resources, within which you can set up this game / facilitation activity.
Okay. D’Oh! 🤦
More time spent on this site reveals similar treatments for “a selection of tools, games and workshop templates, ready to be used for your own foresight projects.” Methods include: Driver Mapping, Causal Layered Analysis, 2×2 Matrix: Scenario Building, Futures Wheel, Horizon Scanning: Implications, Horizon Scanning Validation, Horizon Scanning, Foresight Experiments Scoping, and… a game to Explore the Future of Data Governance. Where's the gold mine emoji?!
Notes on remote working
Fellow ‘Muralista’ Laïla von Alvensleben shares six insights from the recent Running Remote conference. Good, solid observations.
