thoughts from session 2

• Good idea to start the session with the check in question.
  • Eg: Who are you and how are you doing today?

• It is important to create an environment where we can accept each other
• What is that we need to do in order to capture and learn
• Who / What am I now and how have I changed over the time spent on this course.

• Keeping groups together:
  • Objectives;
  • knowing one another;
  • place;
  • rules;
  • vision,
  • threaten them;
  • Pay

• One of the most important concepts is ‘detachment’ – the disengagement from conformities and manage the change – need to do something different and try to avoid the rules and conformity.
  • Need to suspend judgement so as to allow creativity to emerge.

• See example of the Ad agency – not the ‘creatives’ that sit in a room but rather the whole company that contributes to the creativeness
• What are the controls that makes this work?
• It is currently a high level challenge to get people out of stability and comfort zones

We require a brief / concept to work through that provides the necessary framework, but this must not limit the creativity.
