Day 1

Morning: Talking

topics from Describing the Business Today

Topics from Deciding What to do about it

Since Day 1 is mostly talking, it is important to break it up with small group discussions on the topics every hour or so. There are also Energy Exercises that may be used.

A Facilitated Discussion If projects have not already been chosen prior to the workshop, a discussion is facilitated on choosing a project where we can test these ideas.
