BREAKOUT 1: Identifying the Gap (or Journey) (13.45 – 15.00)

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES Present learning from pioneer sites and other teams, including their gap from current state to achieving their aim. Identify and explore the gap between now and where you want to be. Have fun!

SOME IMPORTANT NOTES Our discussions today are about learning, not about performance, so… sharing your challenges and failures can be just as important as sharing your wins and successes.

MEETING NORMS REFRESH Suspend judgment as best you can. Respect one another. Seek to understand rather than persuade. Invite and honour diverse opinions. Speak what has personal heart and meaning. Go for honesty without going on and on and on.

Discussing as a table, participants are invited to share what they realise they are missing and what they saw about their gap. Table Reflection and Discussion part two – 20 minutes

What did you discover in your review of where you are now? What surprised you in your discussions? What ideas are you taking home from your table discussions? For all of us as leaders are there leadership issues to consider? – Or leadership issues we need to escalate? REPORT OUT
