'Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.' - Michael Jordan. Following from conversations for possibility we need to be able to manage effective conversations for opportunity, making the critical decisons that create the strategy for change. It is clearly important to make the right calls at this point: the cost of change inexorably climbs as we progress through implementation. Although we may be experts in our field, we should not believe that we have a monopoly of good ideas. We need to be inclusive and collaborative in our approach. Rather than having to sell our solutions to our teams, stakeholders and clients, it is far better to include them in the conversations that create those strategies. We therefore need to be skilled in facilitating groups to achieve alignment, creativity, innovation and connection, whilst avoiding the perils of domination and groupthink. In this podcast episode, I share a powerful process for generating this collaborative intelligence. A process we have trained others in and applied ourselves for many years in Sionic and have seen underpin many succesful transformations. I hope that you are inspired to try it out and that the results are as positive for you as they have been for others.
