Cheryl Doig- Change management

Great day again... I felt that Cheryl had a great presentation style involving a lot of movement, discussion/dialogue and interaction.

Some ideas from the day:

• Johari window (www.plotpd.com)
• Doughnut Questioning Circle
  
• Sorting (silent/discussion)

SWOT analysis

• Key drivers of change (Leadership, Vision, Staff, Expectations, Resources)
• Key restraints to change (Lack of leadership/ shared vision, Staff attitudes and turnover, other PD focuses, resources)

TEAM (dysfunctions)

1. Absences of trust
2. Fear of conflict
3. Lack of communication
4. Avoidance of accountability
5. Inattention of results

Final word protocol- Shared reading

1. Number people 1-3?
2. All read back to back
   
3. Highlight key points
4. Turn chair when finsihed and ready to talk
5. 1 reads first text highlight, 2 comments, 3 comments, 1 rounds up ideas
6. 2 reads first text highlight, 3 comments, 4 comments, 2 rounds up ideas etc
7. Needs more structure for focus in class

Thinking Preferences

• Herman's Whole Brain Processing (analytical, planner, community, dreamer)
  
• Need a range of types in staff
