Paperless Facilitation
I am coming under pressure from a corporate client to go paperless for all training sessions.... these are in-person sessions where literal hands-on work is an important part of the learning experience. I am wondering if any of you are also encountering this and what you reaction is. Sure, a lot of exercises can be digitised, but do we WANT that? Also, what is your response to client? Any insights would be very helpful, thanks.

I have been investigating paperless delivery and have come across a number of resources that could be helpful. Writeyboard Wipebook https://wipebook.com/blogs/news/why-are-so-many-people-still-stuck-... https://www.post-it.com/3M/en_US/p/pc/dry-erase-surfaces/ There are also a number of other sustainable options such as more dry-erase boards in spaces and using digital tools. I prefer more tactile approaches.

I also find this an incredibly fascinating design challenge. I would love to chat with you about ideas if you have time.

IDEO, Jay Chiat, Rory Sutherland, AJ&Smart, Dan Ariely, MoneyBall..... so many. My writing partner Seb is a great worthy rival.

Here is the result of my meager poll on LinkedIn
Fatigue during brainstorming
Hey Everyone! How do you deal with fatigue of workshop participants during brainstorming sessions? During problem-solving workshops, when the group has to generate solutions to the problems they have diagnosed (using brainstorming), after the second brainstorming session the participants usually are really tired? How do you deal with it, especially when there are more than 2-3 problems the group would like to deal with? Of course, time allows it too! Thanks in advance for your help!

I would do a couple of things: - Use degrading times for brainstorming: 5 minutes to create ideas, then 2 minutes to create again, then 30 seconds then 10 seconds. I creates lots of energy. - Have them first brainstorm an idea for a different client/industry/problem: It doesn't matter how relevant, but the idea is to free them up by getting the juices flowing by solving solutions not so close to home. Fix the experience of long-lines at Disney for example. - Have them brainstorm the ideas through a different lense: How would Apple solve this? How Disney solve this problem... - Have them first start with creating the WORST POSSIBLE IDEA to the problem...share, laugh...then have them brainstorm great ideas. - Use music to drive the energy. - bunch of other ways you can try, but that is a few.
🌟 How I Get C-Level Clients: Part 4 - Make Your Stakeholder Shine
Forget trying to be the star. Your goal? Make your main stakeholder look good. Before the workshop: 1. Ask: "What's your definition of success?" 2. Explore their dream outcome 3. Find out what impresses their boss "When will your boss think - Wow, this was great!" During the workshop: 1. Ask them to support you if things go off track 2. Involve them: "I think this is valuable. Should we continue this discussion?" 3. At the end, check if results meet expectations - so you can still adjust Why it works: - Workshops become more valuable for them - You'll become their go-to facilitator in the future - Their success = Your success The more you help them shine, the better your workshops will go. What do you think of this approach? Share your thoughts! 👇

I used to have a saying over my office door (back when I had an office) that read "Make the people who hire us look like geniuses to the people who hire them."
