How might we...
- How might we embed Courageous Practice into our directors meetings so that directors are more comfortable with engaging in Courageous Practice?
- How might we integrate Courageous Practice more deeply across our teams?
Hypothesis
If we use Courageous Practice within teams then it will provide teams and directors greater insights to their work and teams.
If we ask directors to engage in one Courageous Practice activity with their teams in the next month and share their reflections then we’ll gain insights into a longer term strategy for CP integration into teams.
Design
Step 1: Engage Directors at a Director meeting in the convo about deepening our CP work within teams. Facilitate a brainstorm of taking this first step in deepening CP and in providing feedback to what works and what doesn’t. Have directors answer the question: What makes your excited? What makes your nervous? What do we all know that directors could feel comfortable leading? Completed by XX
Step 2: Ask Directors to engage in one CP activity within a team meeting within a 30 day cycle. Ask Directors to document the date, activity, and results. Completed by XX.
Step 3: Revisit conversation with Directors about what they learned, what was useful, etc. Document lessons. Completed by XX
Metrics
-
- Did Directors get new insights?
- What were they?
- Did using CP stimulate a different convo?
- Did people on the team participate in a different way?
- Did using CP build energy in the meeting?
- Did using CP build a shared understanding of the approach/problem/solution etc.
- Did the CP practice shift anything in what they plan to do? (yielded/influenced/implicated)
- Did Directors get new insights?
