"Consensus Doesn't Mean Casual" and "Shared Vision Required"
Hi all. Craig Freshley just posted a new "Group Decision Tip" at his website. It's called "Shared Vision Required". Another two of my favorite Tips are "Consensus Doesn't Mean Casual" (you still need structure!) and "Decision Method Right-Sized" (one person, three, many?). I thought you all might be interested in checking them out while preparing for group decisions. Enjoy!

For Your Journal/Discussion/Creative Retreating--from "Creativity As a Way of Life" by D.M. Solis
Choose one of the quotes below. Tell me what you think the speaker/author means? What does it mean for your day to day life, in your relationships with others, with yourself?

"The greatest challenge of the day is: how to bring about a revolution of the heart, a revolution which has to start

Harvest Tool: Pyramid or Power of 2 Conversation
I call myself a "Conversation Architect". I meet with clients and sponsors to learn about the conversation they want to have and then build the stucture that might best support it. The Cafe has been a staple of my tool box. I often use the attached Pyramid or Power of 2 Conversation Tool to harvest key ideas in a quick and fun way. I have used it stand alone for many years. By the end of 4 or 5 rounds, I ask each group to list on a flipchart their final 3 ideas. It has never failed that at le
