again many thanks for all interesting perspectives and ideas. I sure feel floating in your wisdom (-: and I love floating! I am having discussions with the leadership to make some adjustments including no presentations. Instead an email reminder including info from the action teams + some clarification regarding the invitation. Actually this is one of the times I did not get to have a look at the invitation before it went out, although I always ask to have a look before…
Hege, I love the idea of naming the challenge we faced last Friday, even if the actual result seems very valuable. But I would love leadership to clarify the invitation before Friday. Even if it could be an interesting discussion to have with the group I think the invitation should be clear before, so that people show up! I will let you know how it all went!
