Travel by the numbers

March 28, 2008 By Chris Corrigan Travel

Today I was scheduled to make a short flight from Vancouver to Nanaimo. It is early spring here on the southwest Pacific coast of Canada, which means blossoming trees, fresh spring flowers and, to everyone’s surprise, a blizzard in Nanaimo, which meant my flight was cancelled. So I high tailed it out to Horseshoe Bay and jumped n the new Coastal Rennaissance ferry and headed to Vancouver Island by slow boat. Revelling in my new found free time, and fresh from adding up the contents of my suitcase, I decided to crunch the numbers and see what my travel schedule …

Why wikis work

March 28, 2008 By Chris Corrigan Collaboration One Comment

For years I have been using and extollng the virtue of wikis (and their cousin GoogleDocs) as collaborative tools.   For some reason it seems hard for most people to take them up.   Thanks to Euan I found this graphic at wikinomics, and it says it all to me.   For best results, take it with this video.   Now can we use wikis?   Please?

The contents of my suitcase

March 27, 2008 By Chris Corrigan Travel 3 Comments

Just a post for posterity’s sake, blogged from Vancouver.   I haven’t quite made it home yet. This has been the busiest two months in the history of my consultancy practice, travel wise.   For the last month, I have been living out of a suitcase, with my schedule consisting of a week on the road and one or two days at home for four weeks in a row.   My home has been an Eagle Creek Switchback Max 25 (which is an incredibly excellent bag, if I do say so myself), and it’s full of everything I need for …

In flow in Atlanta

March 25, 2008 By Chris Corrigan Being, First Nations, Travel 2 Comments

The Westin Hotel in Atlanta, which lost windows in last week’s tornado. A strange week indeed. I left home yesterday morning bound for Toronto and then on to Atlanta where I am doing some work with Public Radio Capital and Native Public Media, looking at how Native community radio stations make an impact. Yesterday I made it as far as Toronto, but a flight delay meant I was cutting my connection close, and I still had to apply for a work visa at US Customs and Border Protection. I arrived in secondary screening at 10 to eight, with an 830 …

Vicki Robin on Conversation Week and the art of hosting

March 22, 2008 By Chris Corrigan Art of Hosting, Conversation, Facilitation One Comment

This week is Conversation Week. I’ve known Vicki Robin for a few years now.   She’s a lovely, lively and curious soul, not shy about standing up and taking responsibility for leading shift in the world.   She developed the Conversation Cafe methodology, and conceived of Conversation Week in 2001. Vicki was with us at the Art of Hosting on Whidbey Island in January, where she did something I’ve never seen before.   She stepped out of her own methodology and facilitated an Open Space gathering.   She was skeptical about Open Space, not having had great experiences in Open …
