Improv Games for Larger Groups

October 31, 2010 By Chris Corrigan Facilitation, Improv

From the Applied Improv Network ning, here is a great set of  Improv Games for Larger Groups.  For use in conferences, large groups settings, school assemblies, church services, riots and demos, sporting events, concerts, Apple store lineups, picket lines and anywhere else a few dozen people or more are gathered. I especially like this line from Paul Levy in the discussion “There are no large groups, just tiny facilitators!”

October 29, 2010 By Chris Corrigan Learning 6 Comments

Three very interesting resources on a new form of evaluation to me, developmental evaluation, created by Michael Quinn Patton: A Developmental Evaluation Primer Patton’s own slides on developmental evaluation A practitioner’s guide to developmental evaluation This is the first thing I have seen on evaluation that has got me excited about the connection between complexity, systems thinking and change.

Stinky town, deserted centre. Hard times. Storm rolling in across NW BC this am. #

The tyranny of flipcharts

October 23, 2010 By Chris Corrigan Art of Harvesting, Art of Hosting, Facilitation, World Cafe 7 Comments

Flipcharts.  Let me count the ways that we are tyrannized by them: 1. Power accretes around a flipchart. The next time you are in a meeting, see if you can tell where the front of the room is.  It’s likely that, even if you are in a circle, the “front” will be where the flipchart is.  As I wrote this I am in an Open Space meeting where people are gathered around flipcharts, and rather than organize in tight circles, several groups are arranged in semi circles facing one person holding a marker and writing on the flipchart.  This defeats …
