Learning from success: How do we get more "legs" under our values?
One work group works on each value. Each work group addresses two questions:
-
When we are working well, in terms of being in line with this value, what specifically are we doing and how are we doing it?
This is a search for good, clear, practical examples. The task is to
"operationalize" this value by describing how things work when the value is an
effective part of real, everyday work life at MACED.
-
How could we increase the time we are working in these ways?
This is a search for doors to practical, workable improvement in working more often in accordance with the value.
Each work group presents to the whole group one good example in response to the first question, and one good idea for increasing the time spent working within the value.
