Hi Joni-

Thanks so much for commenting here. I really can’t wait to hear how this goes and hope you’ll share some feedback about the process, how you worked through it (what kind of organization you have, who participated, what outcomes you came to, etc.) so that everyone reading can learn from you!

Hope to hear from you soon 🙂

I really like this post! I have been struggling with this exact topic-how to communicate best to all or ouf constituents- and I think this may work. I keep putting the cart before the horse in that I just forge ahead without planning and analyzing. I am going to do your process in our team meeting tomorrow and will let you know how it works. Thanks for the great idea!

In reply to Joanne Fritz. Thanks for joining in, Joanne! I completely agree with you: it isn't that we don't *want* a strategy; it's that we "don't have time" to be strategic. Hopefully simple exercises like this one can help people map and act strategically without having to make a huge time or effort commitment. It should be fun and valuable, after all!

What a useful approach, Amy! A way to bring system to sometimes chaos. It is so easy to be so caught up in just pushing stuff out that we forget about having a strategy. Thanks!
