Designing a Smarter Conclave

From the email list March 2013...

I don’t know if the woman who wrote this article is part of Art of Hosting.  But I found this article from Zocalo Public Square hilarious.  What a brilliant way of using a current event to spread awareness of good group process!  It’s not about AoH per se.  But she does suggest the cardinals start by building relationships and ask new, provocative questions. She has them tell stories and think together in world café.  My favorite line is how…

Dear friends and colleagues,

The blog aims to bring together together the knowledge that is emerging across a diverse community of practitioners that are engaged in…

Waauw! that was quick!!!

Great! I added a few minor points. see attached. I wonder, it would be good to send around so that people who invite others to a group can use it. Are you willing to send it through the AoH emaillist - maybe with a little news about what is happening in your part of the AoH world (you CoP)? Before sending out I would make it a pdf.

Thanks for the contribution!

Hello Amanda,

You did something good with making the AoH Ning Helper! Could you make it so that it can be useful for everyone joining the Ning?

Then I would add that people will need to wait a little before they get approved (=making sure that no spam robot is entering our system).

Also that they can follow any conversation (without commenting) by clicking the Follow button. This means they will receive an email when a new comment is posted. Of course, you can always unfollow if you want later.

Would you be willing to do that? That would be a great contribution here!

With love,

Ria

Thanks for your welcoming message, Amanda!
I see you too are "addictede" to learning ... and you're in the right place. It's amazing to see how fast things move in north America. France is moving now too, the old models are being challenged. Not easy for the Cartesian mental model!
I look forward to virtual exchanges in this community!
