How might we...
- Practice/Emergence: How might we practice the five elements?
- “How do we know we’re being successful as a Board?”
Hypothesis
If we answer a set of questions prior to each board meeting and reflect on our responses together, we can track what we are learning and our progress toward success.
Design
The learning & practice group will come up with a set of questions. Natalie in consultation with Gayle (and others?) will distribute to board prior to each meeting and aggregate responses. After 3 meetings, the group will look across the responses, draw out learning, and consider next steps.
Some Proposed Questions to Consider:
- What’s working for me?
- What’s challenging for me?
- What do I need to thrive in my role as a board member – show up better/differently/more fully?
- How can I/we integrate my/our learning with what’s happening with MAG?
- How am I/we as a board living and demonstrating organizational values?
- Am I present to the 5 elements and strategic directions? How am I contributing?
- Am I using my strengths and networks as a resource?
- How are we operating as a myceliar network? What might support more networked behaviors and practices?
Metrics
Board members respond to the questions. Responses provide meaningful data about success in the context of board goals and objectives. Board members find the data useful and the process worthwhile.
