Thanks for sharing this book. When I finished your Drawing series, I just wanted to tell you it would be great if you recorded more videos for it. Recently, I saw a short course that is aligned with what you said in this video. ua-cam.com/video/pUelkBYu9jU/v-deo.htmlsi=cCweTn2cUqQjOvxT

Love the consistency (no pressure) of you sharing the videos frequently! Kinda keeps me hooked. Started formaly using graphic facilitation only last year. Before it was more improv, no technique. Then took an online training with Syndicate (DK), which I loved...super spot on. Hands on...of course! What inhibited me to formaly draw in professional environments was "not being perfect" or "i dont have training". Super B.S., one needs to start somewhere!

This video was helpful for me, thanks.

It was very interesting. Thank you. It is an effective way for communication. Communication needs two languages; one is verbally, and the other has to be visually. Although I believe visual communication is over than verbal one. Can you recommend additional resources for improving my skill at it?

thx for your video, Carsten. I didin't know the pitfalls, bandwagon is so true! I've always a doubt before a session of voting: do you think it's better fisrt to dot vote a cluster of items or the items themself?

Awesome video again Carsten! Very well explained. Dot voting looks very easy but you explained the pitfalls in a very good way.

Carsten, thanks for your video. I didn't know the pidtfalls at all. They were interesting, especially I have experienced the bandwagon effect several times. Although I am not sure if I understand why it is not the most reliable correctly. Could you tell me why? I mean in a small group. In addition, I have seen some teams that generate some similar topics in the retrospectives. In these teams, it is pointless to use dot voting. Because it is obvious what the team wants to talk about. We can cluster them to see how many people point into a similar topic. Then start with the most frequent topic. Actually, dot voting merges into generating topics in these cases.

Using humour/jokes in professional setting is something that has been real for me but without being conscious about it. For some months now, made a decision not to be afraid to use it in a more systematic way. Great experience. Outcomes seem to be beneficial in my experiences (from my perspective). So I really appreciated you producing this video.

It was a useful method. It was interesting for me that you had at least a reason behind each practice. Thanks for sharing this video. I usually use a board that I call the Retro Board. I ask my teammates to input whatever pops up in their minds, and they want to discuss it in the retrospective. They do this during the sprint. This way, issues won't be forgotten. In the retrospective, we cluster and discuss issues to reach root causes.

Love the geeking out on the detail! The Neuland markers are amazing, I geeked out and tried loads. The refills are so good. Great tip on drawing circle.

In my experience most people are really shy and they say "No, I can't sing." Do you have tip on how to introduce this excercise in a way that even the shy people are willing to sing along?

100% agree with you 🎉😂 Laughter helps create even the smallest common ground. I’ve not tried this during a session, but I do at time to conclude a session - observing it to help reduce tension at times

Daily retrospectives

hi, at company i work for we're using ICE to prioritize Initiative Ideas, those Initiatives are treated as "projects". Initiatives are the Discovery element, thay are then linked to Startegy by supporting specific Key Results and Objectives (OKRs)> current callanges with this method are especially around Impact which by design in this method is defined as expected % of impact of key metric, but it's proven to be hard for stakeholdesrs to estimate like that, and its' hard to compare Impact between Initiatives, so there's a high chance we are going to switch Impact from % to $ monetary value (& saved / or & gained). All the Best!

hi Carsten, thx for sharing this model of evaluation that goes beyond the IMPACT/EFFORT (ease) one. I like it. Some doubts around the concept of IMPACT:what do you mean by IMPACT? it's just about the usefulness an idea has for users or it could also be related to other meanings (for example, for me IMPACT is anything that causes a change in metrics)?

Thanks for always sharing ❤ Any suggestions on strings for facilitating a session to 1) Identify things related to a ways of working that need addressing for a few teams in the room, and 2) help the teams to identify things to try out? Thanks

Thx for another light&insightful video

Nice ❤

Ok, you got me. About the overloading the M.V.P. acronym! 🙂 Also in a role of facilitator, I enjoy when people in the room get busy in an exercise....and I can give a step back and observe interactions, social dynamics (maybe a a bit of back of the room flavor). Another point I try bringing into workshops is announcing that a solution for our challenges might lie in the voice that we haven't yet heard. (meaning that the quietest voices might yield great untapped value). Thx for another light&insightful video

the topic of psychological safety in teams is a very delicate one. Seeking alignment on the concept of "comfort" and "safety" is the most difficult point in my opinion as a facilitator. To do this I would suggest doing an exercise: for each quadrant of the matrix I would have team members write the sentences that best express each of the 4 situations of the matrix (using for example 1-2-4-all) and then I would start a conversation starting from where the team thinks they are within that quadrant. Thanks for the food for thought, Carsten.

Mange tak Carsten for your videos. I really appreciate your content and knwoledge! Thanks for sharing.

What if we use design sprints/design thinking in our discovery, would it make sense??

You might call it a T-shaped cross functional team. Or a redundant cross functional team. Resilient cross functional team. Or, they wont need a label other than really awesome team…

Love your videos. Seems like I'm sharing them every week with others!!!

Great content!

Hello Carsten, Thanx alot for this video which helped me a lot. We draw ourself during a facilitating course an then presented it to the group. I think this is a brilliant way also for a teambuilding action... I will try this with my Team in the swiss army :-) Wish you all a beatiful day. Greetings from Bern

always useful facilitation tips! thx Carsten. have a super awesome day too

Thanks for such a great description of this activity! We are using it in an upcoming workshop

this is "super super awesome" Carsten! I bet some facilitators might get super nervous about asking directly! Thank you - perhaps we will use this on zoom in a poll next time at our @how to be a perennial course - and ROTI is a fun image - like tasty goat roti!

Thanks Carsten for this nice little tool. Will try it out in a meeting today with my tribe. Keep going, and stay agile ✌

hihi I like your funny words

Great content Carsten! I hoped you would have some recommendation/suggestion for the facilitation/coaching training.

Thank you for explaining and the nice visualization. You seem to be a super nice person!

I love this exercise! Some variations to try: 1. The PM has a wildcard: she can decide on one hand-pair that can be opened and closed below/ above the current place (to help untangle. this is a metaphor for the power of centralisation. 2. Have some members close their eyes. 3. Have one team member resistant to change, so they don't move. see how teh team manages around them. 4. Having two PMs, with hidden agenda, when the group is untangled each is measured by how many team members are in their side of the room. Etc, etc.

Hi Carsten, in your opinion what this activity could be useful for? icebreaker or warm up? or as conversation firestarter? and taking a step forward: what kind of debrief you would run?

I sent this to my husband who is on a mission to correct misinformation about the US election on social media and help ppl make informed choices/decisions about news they hear. This is a great breakdown of the way we make data-driven decisions and reminds me of scientific research methods incl hypothesis testing.

Thx Carsten for the clarity you exposed this though topic. have a suuuuuper awesome day you too🙂

You make me smile with the "super awesome"! I will do this with my family and LOVE the 124all - are you aware the the Liberating Structures authors are doing another book to take LS online - you might be interested..

Thank you Carsten! I appreciate that you said that you help make the space ready for people to do good work. There is also the gardener metaphor.. but it that too slow? ...might be too slow to see results! A quick sweep makes an immediate difference. And I LOVE the no dancing on the tables part. THANK YOU~ I'll check out more of your videos. I like your style and your plain-spoken manner - it is very appealing!

Thank you... I'm watching as I prepare for an event next week. So appreciate you putting this videos together. It's not easy being consistent. And that's what I appreciate the most. Short little specific video tips. Wonderful!

You're back, Carsten! Thanks for another informative video.

Great elaboration on types of conflict! We need constructive conflict to progress indeed! I've applied Conversation Cafe a few times to discuss a destructive conflict in a team and that worked very well, especially thanks to the talking stick. Thanks for sharing, Carsten!

Excelente!

Great Video!

Hi Carsten! Thank you for a very clear illustration of the real use of estimates. I totally agree with you and you nailed the whole massage in this video. Most teams usually don’t like estimating just because of the two don’ts even if they actually knoges the real benefits. I think it’s because management often missuse the estimating process as well as the estimates. But now they might reconsider. I will definitely use your way of illustrating the reasons for estimating. Hope that’s fine with you 😃

Thank you so much! This was the best real examples of the principles that really helped me. I needed this so bad. I have a mentor, but I feel your explanations were much better. Thank you so much.

fantastic idea! thx for sharing a piece of your private world, carl!

What a nice way to involve the whole family in goal setting for 2024, inspiring! And how cool to do a 1-2-4-ALL as well, love it!

I have apparently forgot to update the title :-D
