Claussen To Everyone: Looking at the words “experimenting and trying things” could problem be = No one clear path forward. 05:21:37 From Julie MacLachlan To Everyone: Is the problem the need to marshall committed partners for the long haul? 05:26:21 From Mike To Everyone: but such collaboration has never been attempted? 05:26:28 From Julie E. Claussen To Everyone: Hell is: all actors are not communicating or working together, which is necessary for success. 05:38:42 From Matthew David To Everyone: The ABT 3 Step "Blue Card": http://storycirclestraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/ABT_3_steps.pdf 05:40:54 From Matthew David To Everyone: Off With the Talking Heads: A Plea for One COVID Voice: https://www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/second-opinions/100625 05:42:13 From Mike To Everyone: The order of these steps is ESSENTIAL. Instead of writing the "heaven" first, you must FIRST decide what is the problem. So in the ABT Builds one of Randy's first questions will be "What is the problem?" 05:42:44 From Matthew David To Everyone: Nicholas Kristof’s Advice for Saving the World: https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/nicholas-kristofs-advice-saving-world/ 05:47:49 From Mike To Everyone: This is powerful! If you can get this one word then that is a guide to the singular problem. 05:48:30 From Julie E. Claussen To Everyone: I have found the Dobzhansky Template to be one of the most powerful (and sometimes the hardest) tools for getting focused. 05:48:47 From Mike To Everyone: Agreed! 05:50:47 From Mike To Everyone: value of urbanization 05:50:53 From Julie E. Claussen To Everyone: Smart development 05:51:38 From Mike To Everyone: urbanization has not occured 05:51:42 From Matthew David To Everyone: Everyone, go ahead and add your ideas and suggestions into chat. Remember, this is brainstorming, so even if you're unsure if your idea is correct or not, go ahead and add it anyway. It might spark an idea with someone else. 05:51:50 From Robin To Everyone: Lack of liveability 05:52:02 From Julie E. Claussen To Everyone: Benefits of urbanization unknown 05:52:43 From Matthew David To Everyone: I'd like to know why the region has not tapped into the benefits of urbanization. It'd be good to add a BUT/BECAUSE in the red to help get specific. BUT they haven't tapped into urbanization yet BECAUSE _____. 05:53:51 From Matthew David To Everyone: I highly recommend everyone reads this excerpt from "Houston, We Have a Narrative" about the 3 Forms of the ABT and get familiar with the cABT (Conversational ABT). It'll be coming up a lot: http://www.storycirclestraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/THE-3-FORMS-OF-THE-ABT.pdf 05:54:33 From Julie MacLachlan To Everyone: What would the "if . . . then . . ." be for this ABT? 05:54:34 From Matthew David To Everyone: Finding the cABT is important in making sure you understand the base skeleton of your story by taking away all the details. 05:56:21 From Mike To Everyone: we have a thing that's important, but it's not happening, therefore we'll do it. 05:58:03 From Matthew David To Everyone: This is super important. By doing this, you make it absolutely clear what your base narrative is. Sometimes too many details can cloud what your narrative is, so boiling it down can bring clarity. 05:59:00 From Julie E. Claussen To Everyone: Blue gets us hooked in on why we should care - Cities that encompass the benefits of urbanization can elevate their economic status and help their citizens, BUT 05:59:40 From Mike To Everyone: But to properly set up the blue you need the simple problem..."But this hasn't happened..." 06:00:50 From Oliver Braedt (World Bank) To Everyone: Sorry, I have to go, thanks! 06:01:58 From Gayatri To Everyone: Thanks everyone 06:02:12 From Julie E. Claussen To Everyone: Great Session! Have a great week
