용’s 자체 평가^^
-We are getting noticed
eg. news, city council, mayor, ministries
-What matters: trust, autonomy, shared vales, collaboration, going out and doing stuff
-What doesn’t : strict definitions(of what level of engagement you are in), always having a plan or knowing what you’re doing
-Need good transparency and collaboration tools and environments that work.
행사에서 이야기 했으면 하는 포인트는? (트루’s)
Ensiral에서 추구하는 수평적인 의사소통 방법을 자신이 속한 모임(조직)에서 실제로 실천할 수 있는 계기를 만들어 주었으면 합니다. 좋은 의사소통은 개인만 효과적인 방법을 인식할 때 이뤄지는 것이 아니라, 조직의 구성원들이 그것을 인지하고 방법을 익혔을때 실현될 수 있기 때문입니다.
how?
수평적인 의사소통을 고민하고 있는 조직,모임을 대상으로
각 조직(모임)의 실제 의사소통에 관한 고민을 나눠봅니다. (고민 공유하면서리차드와 이야기 할 지점도 생길 것 같습니다.)
그런뒤 ‘루미오’를 배우고 , 이것을 이용해 실제로 겪고 있는 문제를 풀어보는 워크숍을 해봤으면 합니다.
