Action:
Firstly, we created a small group of ‘Change Agents’ who were representatives from across the three organisations and facilitated a design session. This was the first opportunity for a cross-org team to create safety and space to explore some of the symptoms and causes of the current situation and allowed us to co-design the right activities, inputs and outputs for a two day Springboard Event™. Our second intervention was to bring the senior leaders from each organisation together and help them reconnect and prepare for the event itself – identifying, refining and practicing key messaging and agreeing how best to ‘show up’ on the day.
The resulting third intervention was the Springboard Event™. The first day was focused on regrouping the whole team – helping them understand the wider context and renewed vision for the project and subsequently what they are ‘letting go of’ to allow a ‘new beginning’. The right mix of assignments, graphic capture, Q&A and whole group facilitation kept the whole group on track and engaged. The second day demonstrated the ‘handing over the baton to participants’, where we used an ‘Open Space’ approach to enable participants to host working groups on hot topics that they themselves had identified as needing attention in order to bring the project back on track.
