Hello Folks, I would like to ask a previous question in a different way. The question was about how to build a game to help practitioners share their effective OS techniques with each other.
A game might have been the wrong framing. Perhaps what I'm hoping to see co-created on this thread is more of a fun collaborative activity than it is a game. After all, we're serious people, right? I'll propose my design below, but I'm interested in hearing your designs for such an activity which might be quite different. After thinking about it for a few days, this is the design that's appealing to me... - A bunch of practitioners set aside 30 minutes to gather online at the same time, staring intently at a website which they are about to populate with insights they've gleaned from years of experience. There is an audio connection so they can speak to each other. Video is optional. If the group is large, then it breaks out into subgroups. - The first turn begins. One participant offers the spark which consists of a single sentence in the format of "Out of nowhere, [choose: the client / a participant / etc] [then fill in the blank]. What do you do?" - All participants in that small group write down their responses & their underlying rationale. - Everyone can then see each other's responses and can give a thumbs up for the ones they like best. Author's names are not shown at this point. - Optional, depending on whether you want competition or not: Authors' names are then revealed and someone gets a point for receiving the most votes. - The next turn begins. Over time, I believe a game like this that people would actually play can create a wonderful community resource. How would you improve it? What other kind of game can you imagine? I'm asking for advice here, because this game will be one of the apps available for the Dialogue & Facilitation Community of Practice on QiqoChat <http://dialogue.qiqochat.com/>. The community is equipped with this initial set of one dozen collaborative tools <https://qiqochat.wordpress.com/all-tools-on-qiqochat/> for creating what is essentially an online, year-round OS environment open to all types of facilitators. It's free for a year for the first 100 members, and $5/month thereafter. There are 18 free slots remaining as of today. I hope you are interested in joining us there, and I look forward to hearing everyone's responses to this post above! -- Lucas Cioffi Dialogue & Facilitation Community of Practice on QiqoChat <http://dialogue.qiqochat.com/> Charlottesville, VA 917-528-1831 QiqoChat: A tool for building communities.
