steps:
|
|
- headline: Map the past
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Small mixed groups create a timeline of key events in their own lives,
|
|
the organisation, and the world over several decades.
|
|
- headline: Map the present
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Groups map current trends and forces affecting the system, noting
|
|
what they are proud of and what they are sorry about.
|
|
- headline: Ideal future scenarios
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Small groups craft vivid scenarios of the organisation twenty years
|
|
on, as if they have already happened.
|
|
- headline: Find common ground
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The whole group identifies shared themes and projects that all
|
|
stakeholders can commit to, setting aside differences.
|
|
- headline: Action plans
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Volunteers form task groups around each common-ground project and plan
|
|
concrete next steps.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
Diverse stakeholders discover shared ground and commit to projects none
|
|
could have advanced alone.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
Stakeholder diversity is essential — include those with authority,
|
|
resources, knowledge, and those affected. The "proud/sorry" step often
|
|
releases energy that agenda control would have suppressed. |
