Sarvodaya, evolution and development

January 22, 2006 By Chris Corrigan Being, Organization, Philanthropy

Before I took off to the Evolutionary Salon last week I blogged about Sarvodaya. Today I have been scouring recent postings at the Sarvodaya blog and I find this, from Deepak Chopra’s comments to a Sarvodaya Peace dialogue: Today we are shifting from the industrial age to the information age. Today wealth and power come from Information Technology. And Information Technology has become very powerful today. In a few years it will become even more powerful. It will be possible for anyone to have this kind of computer in their pocket and interfere with air traffic. It will be possible …

Facilitators, community building and the long emergency

January 13, 2006 By Chris Corrigan Facilitation, Organization

My friend Richard Delany sent me a piece called “There has to be a Big Crises” by Michael Kane about what it will take for Americans (and I would say Canadians too) to wake up to Peak Oil. The article paints a disparaging picture about the ability of North American leadership to wake up to the creeping decline – James Kunstler’s “The Long Emergency” – before it’s too late. Having spent the past two weeks in the States, and the better part of next week there too, I agree that the signs are not good. In Maui the radio is …

Values, tools and authentic facilitation

February 25, 2005 By Chris Corrigan Appreciative Inquiry, Art of Hosting, Being, Collaboration, Conversation, Facilitation, Open Space, Organization, Practice 4 Comments

I’ve been facilitating groups for as long as I can remember, going back probably 20 years to high school when I ran both informal and organized youth groups with my peers. It has probably been about twelve or thirteen years ago that I started to actually pay attention to what I was doing. But only in the last five or six years, as I have been facilitating full time, have I noticed a deepening in my practice. Work as practice. And by practice I mean something akin to a spiritual practice, whereby one undertakes a life of value and meaning …

Strategy and improvisation

December 23, 2003 By Chris Corrigan Leadership, Organization 2 Comments

George Nemeth got riffing on my post about project management as jazz and a really cool conversation evolved in his comments (scroll down). One of the comments from John Galt challenged the idea that strategy can be created in an emergent and improvisiational framework: The jazz metaphor is apt for improvisation. Not for strategy as we are speaking about it. One nice definition of improvisation in strategy is the act of �creating strategy as it is being implemented� or making it up as you go along. Now, classic strategy is a process for thoughtful managers in mindful organizations. Mindful � …

Learning in networks

December 16, 2003 By Chris Corrigan Learning, Organization One Comment

I’ve been an autodidact all my life. My learning programs have had little to do with what I was fed in school or in the approved training programs of the various places I’ve worked. In fact, when I was with the Department of Indian Affairs, I tried to initiate a new learning program to foster leadership. I advocated giving every employee their $800 a year training allotment and allowing them to spend it on whatever learning program they wanted. If employees chose to take the government sanctioned filing training, that’s fine. If people wanted to spend the money on a …
