Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the limit-login-attempts-reloaded domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Deprecated: Hook site-logo is deprecated since version 13.4! Use custom-logo instead. Jetpack no longer supports site-logo feature. Add custom-logo support to your theme instead: https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/functionality/custom-logo/ in /home1/enabling/public_html/blog/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6121

Hi all,<\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to share a tool I think is wonderfully useful.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A few months ago I sat listening to facilitators in a state agency talking about how multi-stakeholder collaborations go wrong.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
One after another, they spontaneously observed that they go wrong before they begin. The conflict and lost opportunities were built in at the start. Specifically, by the failure to create clarity about a series of fundamental questions like purpose, negotiation space, and understanding the meaning of each others\u2019 language!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Let\u2019s call this the Inception Phase. If we were going to be systematic about designing the inception phase (and hence all the foundations of a project), what would we think about?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Here is a tool that tries to answer that question.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It\u2019s now my go-to tool for EVERY strategic workshop, collaboration, or community consultation I\u2019m involved in.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Hope you find it useful. I think it might make a big difference to the quality of public consultations in Australia.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Feel free to download it at www.enablingchange.com.au<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Best wishes<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u2013 Les<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
P.S. I\u2019d love some feedback.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The first page summarises the process:<\/div>\n
