The Great British Facilitate Off
In a large tent (preferably at a beer festival) four would be facilitators would take on a number of challenges that I have encountered along my twenty odd year journey.
For their Signature offering they would need to design and facilitate:
– A two hour workshop around a ‘good death’.
– 24 identical team workshops to improve Service Delivery
– ‘Safe to Fail’ Probes to generate a bid for Heritage Lottery funding.
Technical challenges would include:
– An ice breaker for a group of hardened aerospace engineers
– A one hour school environmental workshop for 12 year olds
– A 50 minute session for 150 environmentalists at an International Natural Capital Confernce
For Showstoppers I would suggest:
– A five day sandpit on land based renewables with a final prize of up to £1 million for the best proposal.
– A full lessons learned & Knowledge Audit for a major UK Charity campaign.
– An anecdote circle sensemaker project across ten European cities to be done in their native language.
On your marks, get set, facilitate…
Another idea tomorrow, featuring hair and motorbikes.
