Guerilla Goodness. Hit and run to change the world …<br />
<br />
Discover the power of guerilla hit-and-run actions to break existing patterns, surprisingly changing the rules of the game, destabilise current situations by unexpected actions and reactions, use of clandestine management, a positive anarchy, a gentle disorder, a sweet disturbance, not to blow up the building but to let blossom new and unexpected connections with your environment, colleagues, team and organisation. Just to see what happens…

Uniting Thought and Action<br />
<br />
Thought and action cannot be separated from one another, i.e. a person’s movements reflect their thinking and visa versa. A real change in thinking will be reflected in movement. If a new idea or solution (thinking) is to take hold, then there must be corollary change in action (movement). This holds true for the client as well as the coach. In this workshop, you will experience how your own actions can influence your thinking, enabling you to work more effectively…
Uniting Thought and Action<br />
<br />
Thought and action cannot be separated from one another, i.e. a person’s movements reflect their thinking and visa versa. A real change in thinking will be reflected in movement. If a new idea or solution (thinking) is to take hold, then there must be corollary change in action (movement). This holds true for the client as well as the coach. In this workshop, you will experience how your own actions can influence your thinking, enabling you to work more effectively as a coach by better observing the signals coming from your client. Additionally, you will become more aware of your own actions and how to sense them while still focusing on your client.<br />
<br />
Sf and the Feldenkrais Method are both solution-based approaches to changing thinking and action. By experiencing these two methods, we will be able to explore the connection between thought and action. Practical exercises in coaching and movement awareness will blend together to create a new understanding of how action and thought influence and support each other.<br />
<br />
This workshop was taught by Stephanie von Bidder and me. Since we will be doing more of this work, we're looking forward to exchanging ideas.

Dear SOLutionists,<br />
<br />
below is what I wrote in my workshop proposal, about my intention of it.<br />
Attached is my handout. It repeats the invitation to see the workshop not only as an end, but rather a beginning, and a means towards an end: to continue to share ideas about how "traditional", or "classical" management tools, jargon, and practices can smoothly be merged and linked to SF toos, jargon, and practices.<br />
<br />
So if you come across, or invent yourself some links / connexions / translations…
Dear SOLutionists,<br />
<br />

<br />
So if you come across, or invent yourself some links / connexions / translations between classic and SF management, let me (and the SF community) know. Some space was already reserved for your idea(s) on the handout!<br />
<br />
Any comments and extensions are welcome!<br />
My e-address is: doc.ks@web.de<br />
Thanks in advance!<br />

"Metaphors be with you!", or so they say ...<br />
(but was that in classic management? ;-)<br />

Workshop Intention (as described in the proposal abstract):<br />
<br />
Clients from management contexts don’t look for some strange “solution focused (’SF’) methodology”, but rather for “solutions” for their perceived “problems”! And they buy those from external consultants, SF or otherwise, only if their own tool box doesn’t already provide them with what they’re looking for. You may dislike that and wish for it to "go to hell" - or welcome the "heavenly" opportunity. Either way, for a consultant insterested in offering the benefits of SF to a management clientele it is probably a prerequisite to be familiar with traditional management tools and “jargon”, and to know how “classical SF”-tools can be renamed, or modified where necessary, to fit to the background as well as to the perceived needs of his customers-to-be. Sometimes SF is best applied when it is not called SF …<br />
<br />
Typical management tools comprise methods called “SWOT”, “Boston-Consulting-Portfolio” or “McKinsey-Matrix”, “PDSA-cycle” or “FMEA”, “fishbone” or “scatter diagram”, “360° feedback” or “risk analysis”, to name but a few. They are applied to analyze competitive environments, strenghts, weaknesses, strategic options, to identify sources of defects, manage quality or employees, break down complicated networks into manageable smaller bits and pieces, define responsabilities and sometimes scapegoats.<br />
<br />
For many, if not all, of these applications, SF-related tools do exist already or could be invented easily. To map company skills to market needs (SWOT) the “solution matrix” from CORFU can be applied. A management heuristics like the PDCA-cycle can be SF’d with Bergmann’s “Solution Cycle”, Michael Hjerth’s “PLUS” or Coert Visser’s “POWERS”. The “fishbone” mutates into a “wishbone” and the “FMEA” into “SMEA” (success modes and effects analysis). Toyota’s “5-why” converts into a more future-oriented “5-what-for” - or culminates in the good old miracle question. Project “milestones” are reflected in “steps of the scale” and the search for scapegoats “deteriorates” into Ben Furman’s “positive paranoia” …<br />
<br />
The workshop is supposed to collect (or modify, or invent, or …?) more tools from both worlds, and brief descriptions of how they work and what they can be useful for. One outcome might be an expanded list matching the tools in pairs, for easy comparison as well as for “translating” them from one jargon into the other. That list could be published in the conference proceedings or on the SOLworld-website for others to utilize whatever benefit it might offer. By this, the workshop would provide additional connections even to those who couldn’t participate!

I'm playing (sic!) with the idea that it's about enticing different ways of thinking and percieving by placing yourself in a different "environment" (the box). In this way, you activate the right side of your brain because that is where new experiences get processed. As you activate this part of yourself, creativity and imagination is generally stimulated!<br />
<br />
I.e. the box experience can be described as interrupting your kognitive patterns to allow for new conceptions to emerge.<br />
<br />

<br />
The same thing can happen for instance when you travel (with the SOL travel group for instance :-) BUT the difference is that you then get lots and lots of new impressions to process. In the box you actually cut away a lot of the bits of information that surrounds us in every day life, and there by you make place for happenings in your inner world to step into the lime light...

What is lacking is the atmosphere, the connections between us, the warmth of our trade.<br />
For all that just anyone can add their own emotions. I personally am very grateful for everything I have lived with you in Texel.
