Moving the thinking back upstream   or, how to be clever without being too clever
 The more advanced we become in our own field of practice the further we leave behind those who might benefit most from our know-how. Thinking about Conversation Thinking in Parallel Thinking with Metaphor
Sometimes we walk right past the basics . What are the things at the rivers source that will help drive better outcomes?
 Organisations and communities are made of conversations, the virtual neurons that tie everything together. It is the quality of the conversation that determines the success of the community.
Progressive vs Regressive Facilitator vs Inhibitor Participative vs Autocratic Negotiation from interest and not position Feedback loops Archetypes of conversation  a generally recognisable pattern of interaction that emerges over and over again in different settings.  Organisational intelligence is an  emergent consequence of the balance  of progressive archetypes of interaction  over regressive archetypes.
We get intelligent people into the room but our meetings and time are dominated by strong personalities, rambling discussions and strongly held views. Many brains make light work. But how can we help them get them aligned to do so ? A show of hands please: Anyone who has sat in an unproductive meeting of late? Anyone who feels their organisations meetings all add value?
A more constructive and creative approach to thinking during meetings, discussions & conversations. Parallel thinking allows a group to consider an issue or an idea without the intervention of dispute or argument. This framework allows people to use their collective intelligence to approach  an issue from the same perspective and allows the collective analysis of information, benefits, risks, & underlying potential of a concept or idea. There is a growing perception that traditional analysis  and judgement are insufficient to deal with a constantly changing world. Our traditional thinking habits lack design and creative energy.

Editor's Notes

  • #2: INTRO What do you tell advanced practitioners - many of whom are probably better operators that you and more learned in many respects? Simply put a number of ideas and practices on display Primary analogy will be that of a river if we move our thinking back up stream we will improves outcomes downstream i.e. if we improve the quality of our thinking the quality of the actions that follow should correspondingly improve Interesting to hear Mark make reference to Kurt Vonnegut ..
