This Playbook includes the following sections, select a heading to jump to that section.
Laura outlines the need to deeply care, yet always challenge — and used this model before she knew what it was called.
Both Michelle and Laura discuss how establishing a Value Proposition is crucial for their work. Michelle uses the Value Proposition Canvas for each initiative to establish a customer-centric perspective in stakeholders.
Laura outlines how Framestorming, or questioning the question, has defined her career. While she didn't know this model formally, she consciously challenged the problem, rather than just establishing the solution.
Laura also rose the use of Cynefin as a way to help navigate different levels of complexity, in part knowing when to test and experiment.
Laura discusses the balance between remaining sceptical and not immediately attributing causal relationships and also being aware of making a call about links after years of noting correlation.
Laura expressed how she enjoyed this model as a way to stay humble and sceptical about any model, including ones that she has created.
Michelle delves into the role of behavioural economics and a range of heuristics into understanding how people work and change (or don't), and how that must inform the work of learning and development professionals as a result.
Michelle took the above theme and stressed the importance of any model that helped us to experiment and test ideas to be more flexible. She highlighted the importance of viewing everything as a hypothesis.
Laura discusses her preference for the term 'In the Overlap', and we were particularly taken by her approach to apply this model for a Lazarus Effect — to bring past projects or ideas back from the dead.
