- My own stuff (on sense-making – all to be validated)
- Black market for common sense – essence: talk about what people do outside the system (without fear)
- Ecosystem based approach – essence: understand impact of all and any potential contribution and be able to influence – monitor for tension/dissatisfaction
- Murder Mystery – essence: build a picture of what relates to resolving a certain question
- Bubble charting – essence: living journal of the main things ‘we talk about’
- Winnable Mission Management – essence: engaging a few ‘winnable battles’ at a time
- Delivery alignment/#NoSurprises – essence: A moment in time where ‘everyone knows everything’ or ‘can ask their question’ (without fear)
- Tension lines as probes/triggers for boiling up information
- Agile Engine – essence: Evolve from where you are; scale free approach
- Fitness for purpose – are you sharpening/upgrading your tools/skills? If you asked your most fierce competitor to collaborate – would they cheer or laugh?
- Leaders have a disproportionate influence on culture; As a leader of any significance you just got to accept that you are the culture; Unless you change and unless you sponsor change not much is going happen
