Day 138 of 2015. Spent the day with these fabulous folks as part of the Future Forward Innovation Challenge workshop, expertly designed and facilitated by Rebecca Petzel with a huge assist from Amy Wu and lots of great support from Alison Lin. This is part one of the work we’ve been doing the past three months. It hasn’t been just us. Our core participants have been working hard doing Muscles & Mindsets. We’ve got one more day of the workshop, which then leads into a three month innovation process. Most people don’t understand the amount of preparation that goes into a process like this. It’s a ton of work, but it’s what enables you to consistently produce a high-quality experience, despite a high degree of uncertainty. Still, at the end of the day, the basic philosophy always holds true. Bring a bunch of talented, passionate people together around a clear and common goal, and get out of their way. This approach never fails. As the picture clearly indicates, we have all the right ingredients.
