[Ailist] Organization wide AI summit question

[M. Ines Colle]

Hi Susan,

I would like to share my point of view in response to your original question
concerning people attending the summit who previously facilitate "mini" AI
sessions in their departments, so that all voices are heard. Hope it's
useful...

1. Once we did this but only with one-on-one interviews, especially
appreciative approach, previous "training" (prevent from just gathering
complaints)
interviews probably more useful
Output of which will be shared when they share in small groups turing the
Summit, -by using the same or very similar questions in one to one at
summit-

Hi Joan, 

I would think you would want some sort of support from above to go system 
wide, and to get all the stakeholders from all the different areas in the 
room that are applicable to whatever your topic would be.  Maybe Hospital 
Week in May would be a nice sell?  Finding a "hot button" issue that your 
administration would like to have going differently perhaps and wording it 
into an appreciative topic.  It costs a lot to have all those folks from 
all those different areas "off the floor" or to come in on their day off 
to participate in a summit, so again having the support of everyone is 
very useful.

Maybe a smaller way to start might be a "mini" AI between 2 departments 
that are working to resolve something. 

As far as data gathering tools, we used nothing formal...just instructions 
for the table discussions after the interviews to choose their favorite 
story and the themes, share and post their story, and then hang the themes 
(one per post it note) around their story.  Every table added until we had 
a huge poster of stories and supporting themes.

Hi Folks,
Enjoying the discussion on large & small  groups and the need to link and 
promote energy between and throughout an organization. Howver, need some 
help understanding and, perhaps reveiwing, forms or tools ('short form') 
others use for data gathering. I am promoting the AI model in small group 
facilitation work I do w/ varied hospital employee comitteees, task groups 
etc, and want to move AI beyond these small areas using a system approach. 
Of course, this is unfunded and only a couple of us officially promoting, 
so any help using tools that work for others would be great to see. Thanks 
to all in advance for your help, as you always do. I look forward to your 
responses.
