Closing conversation notes from 3.11.05
Notes from the closing conversation on building a Community of Practice
What emerged?
So much knowledge energy and wisdom that it would be good to create support groups for each other to share successes and problems that we ran into. Investigate technology options for that.
The need to build awareness around who we are as a community. Who else is doing this work? And building awareness in the community. How facilitation can build value in your organization/community etc.
Fantastic openness and deep level of support in this community which is excellent.
What would make a local facilitation community of practice valuable for us?
Get contact information so as to share info sessions etc
Develop a bio of each person, that captured each person’s assets in facilitation. Increasingly co-facilitation is needed.
People that need facilitators, people that what to enhance their skills, people who want to sell their skills.
If we met every 2 months and bring these discussions to deeper knowledge.
The ultimate is to get back together again. I would like to reinforce the relationships that we made today. We should change the methodology so that we learn something everytime we come.
A website as perhaps hosted by 3M
Interactive website enables the conversation to keep going.
Ed envisions facilitation group learning and complex learning is how we do things in NEO. Open networks of collaboration in Universities and libraries and neighborhoods and counties and across counties….this is how we will build the civic space. Could this group be the seeders of a large revitalization of the civic space. People will come together and reclaim the civic space, sharing information and sharing conversation.
People looking for ways to build their capacity and using technology. How do we use the people in the room to teach us how to grow our skills in online facilitation practice.
