RELEASES GROUP GENIUS BY DESIGN.
Each component of the workplace is designed to work with all
the others to: increase the productivity and energy of individual
participants; bring cost-effective technology and knowledge
management professionals to bear on increasing group productivity;
improve group interaction to produce high quality communication
inside improved relationships; and fundamentally transform
the kinds of products groups produce to highly robust, thoroughly
vetted, systemic solutions that fully deal with complexity.
This is done through:
- ESTABLISHING
flexible environments in which all the physical elements
to support individuals and groups are immediately at hand.
All aspects of the environment function seamlessly together
with the work processes so there is no time wasted gathering
needed items. Tools work together by design. The total environment
sets the stage for, highly effective individual and group
behavior.
- FOCUSING
a team of highly skilled knowledge workers on events. Using
knowledge workers to document events liberates individual
participants to engage fully in the moment without needing
to take notes or other mementos, freeing up the truly scarce
resource of participant time, attention, and creativity.
Disciplined documentation also ensures that a single, high-quality
record of the event exists, rather than divergent notes
and memories that cause confusion going forward.
- ENGAGING
the whole of each individual taking part in the process,
generating a more energized, grounded, yet widened perspective.
This includes engaging all the physical senses in a rich
and varied environment, and engaging a wide range of virtual
senses through basic work process and facilitation-for example,
senses of values, self-expression, integrity, freedom, related-ness,
individuality, adventure, and curiosity.

- INSERTING
new
knowledge and perspective into the customer's working
group by including carefully selected "wild card" individuals
from its extensive network of seminal thinkers, innovators,
leaders, and doers; readings from its library; and provocative
puzzles, games and toys from its store.
- APPLYING
individual and group work processes designed in concert
with other components of the environment, to maximize the
contribution of each participant to the product, capturing
the full value of diversity. This ensures that a more robust
solution is generated and tested from abundant perspectives,
that widespread ownership and enrollment in the work product
is generated, and that the customer accelerates out of the
event with strong enrollment, high levels of commitment,
and successful implementation.
kNOWHERE'S
EVENTS ARE DESIGNED around
a finely honed strategy of multiple recursions, in which issues,
strategies, and plans are examined in an intentional sequence
of both serial and parallel exercises from different perspectives,
iterating successively more robust solutions.
