Exploring future possibilities by mapping “dispositionalities”

April 25, 2016 By Chris Corrigan Art of Harvesting, Art of Hosting, Cynefin, Evaluation, Facilitation, Featured, Learning, Philanthropy, Uncategorized, World Cafe 5 Comments

It’s good to have Dave Snowden back from his treks in the Himalayas. He’s been a big influence on my thinking and practice over the past few years and his near daily blog posts are always rich, irreverent and practical. He is in the process of creating an important body of theory and practice that is useful even if the language and the concepts are sometimes a lot of work to grasp. The payoff from wrestling with his ideas is rich. Today he’s discussing “dispositionality” which simply means that making change in a system is much easier when you have a …

Making a rough and ready pattern language as a creativity tool

April 20, 2016 By Chris Corrigan Art of Harvesting, Art of Hosting, Collaboration, Conversation, Facilitation, Featured, First Nations, World Cafe One Comment

Just finished out first day of work with Navajo Area Health Promotion practitioners and 30 community wellness workers, Elders and healers from across the Navajo Nation.  We are blending an Art of Hosting workshop with content and process from  some recent research in neuroscience, epigenetics, and adverse childhood experiences and with wellness and leadership models from our Navajo colleagues with whom we have a ten year relationship. One of the pieces of work we are doing is supporting these folks in launching or accelerating some community based projects using the social networks they have in place here.  This will involve …

The basic invitation to the Art of Hosting community of practice

March 21, 2016 By Chris Corrigan Art of Hosting, Invitation

Depending on who you ask, the Art of Hosting as a community of practice has been around since about 1999.  Since that time, it has evolved and morphed and changed and developed.  It does so based on the inquiries that come from practice and that are captured in the workshops that are delivered by various people all over the world.  It is a community and a movement of learning that I have never quite seen the likes of, although I am sure that there are others.  It focuses on dialogue, participatory leadership and making tools for these things accessible to everyone, …

  This morning we began our Harvesting and Collective Sensemaking online course.  Rowan Simonsen, Amy Lenzo and I were really excited to be able to share our first little insights with people, and especially this new mnemonic that we created to capture five key principles of harvesting practice: PLUME. We are excited to introduce this into the world.

The urgency of the moment: why need matters

March 14, 2016 By Chris Corrigan Art of Hosting, Design, Featured, Leadership

Martin Luther King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech is best known for his statements of possibility and the energy with which he concluded his remarks.  It is a compelling call to purpose, to a world in which the future is only currently imagined.  It provided a generative image of what is possible, if not what is attainable, and it did what a good purpose does: it helped take the place of a charismatic leader.  Internalized, that purpose drives the movement.
