WELCOME to our "exercises" section. What you will find here is the work product of a new wrinkle we've added to the standard three day introductory training used by most of our client organizations to introduce the principles of interest based decision making to employees throughout their organization. Here's what we've been doing since about the fall of 1999:
On the afternoon of day three we ask the question of the participants "name some of the opportunities which exist throughout this organization or back at your own workplace upon which you could apply the principles of decision making we've just spent the past 2 and a half days introducing to you". The participants brainstorm a list which is recorded after the creation of a suitable "flip chart byte" as a title for the topic. The group then does a weighted voting on the topics listed using the following criteria: * is the issue/topic real or an echo of the past? * is the issue/topic something you can do something about or only influence? * is the issue/topic something that if it were resolved would imrove or resolve a number of other issues or topics? Each participant is given an equal number of votes to cast, but before they do we invite advocacy on behalf of any issue/topic. Then the votes are cast. The result winnows the list down to a workable number of 3 to five (depends upon how many facilitators we have) A "work station" is then created for each of the topics, and participants rotate through each of the workstations or as many as time will allow. The results of this drill are contained on the "group mempry" you will find when you click on any one of the topic so idendified as having been sleected.
