Innovation Adoption Cycle
What are the 5 main factors that influence adoption of an innovation?
Difficulties of Innovation Adoption (Extended Cut)
The forgotten secret about cutting-edge approaches and innovative tools, that change leaders and product developers know all too well, is that adoption is a process.
Consciousness & Facilitation
In meetings a good facilitator can be just like the 9th brain of the 8 armed octopus. The ultimate coordinator of the other 8 arm’s brains. The discussion weaves into group consciousness being rooted in emotional intelligence and empathy.
Ecosystem of Consent
You may know that the USA Declaration of Independence asserts that “governments exist by the consent of the people.” That idea seems true for governments of all sizes, including a small circle of people. This video explores a simple way for small governments and groups to know that every one of their members consents to what they are doing.
Demonstration: Both - And Thinking
Visualize the Statue of Justice: a blindfolded woman in ancient Roman robes holding up scales to weigh arguments. The strongest arguments tip the scale in their favor, and those arguments become the truth. That’s Either-Or thinking – e.g, a person is either innocent or guilty. But, there is another, much newer path to truth called both-and thinking. It takes all arguments (or the needs underlying the arguments) as true and combines them to reveal new, often unexpected truths.
Sociocracy:Thinking Smarter Together
In many ways the world is skidding out of our control, both at a global level and at a personal level that directly affects students. The symptoms are as varied as the dramatic surge in species extinctions, a four-fold increase since 1980 in incarcerations, increasing suicide rates, ballooning student debt, and a sharp decline in teaching students about civics and methods of self-governance.
