Is it possible to illustrate this based on a short example?</p>
<p>How would it be to forget for that an abstract language and some theoretical concepts and to focus on what we may OBSERVE by using AI and SF? <br/> <br/>I propose this scenario: <br/> <br/>A team of about 7 persons worked hard during the last three weeks to deliver results to their customer based on a goal they agreed with the customer at the beginning of their work. <br/>Most of the results fulfil the goal. Some are a bit different - but usable. A few points are missing or failed. <br/>Now the team is coming together for, let's say, <em><strong>two hours only</strong></em> to reflect their work in the past three weeks and they want to find out, how they can improve their work in future. And they want to implement the improvements for the next three weeks of work. <br/>For this reflection they engaged a coach specialized to use AI. <br/> <br/>Now: <br/>Supposed, a SF-coach can observe how this coach is working with the team - without knowing that this coach is doing AI.</p>
<p>Question:</p>
<p><strong>What will the SF-coach observe as important differences compared with a "pure" SF-based coaching of the team?</strong></p>

<p></p> SF Self Evaluation for Blended Learningtag:solworld.ning.com,2009-02-19:2102269:Topic:123012009-02-19T16:12:07.158ZHans-Peter Kornhttp://solworld.ning.com/profile/HansPeterKorn
Here is a "pilot version" for a "SF Self Evaluation for Blended Learning" (also useful for all kinds of learning...)<br />
<br />
It is based on a "SF self evaluation" I developed some time ago as this ==> <a href="http://www.korn.ch/exchange/EvaluationForm-for-courses.pdf">form to print out</a><br />
Based on that a "web-form" for the usage in internet-platforms like moodle was created.<br />

Hello all!<br />
In „Solution Tools“ Susanne Keck describes how she works with a Timeline. I also like to use this tool and I have created a variation of it: the Curvilinear Time Line. Here is the description of the idea in German and –with a great support from Sue– in English.

For managers being irritated by exercises looking like to be<br />
a bit "psycho" or too "playful" I have found out this version of scaling:<br />
<br />
<b>>> THE PROGRESS BLUEPRINT <<</b><br />
<br />
It works that way:<br />
<br />
On a wall ten flipchart papers (or half filpchart papers - if the wall<br />
is small) are mounted side by side, e.g. with tapes.<br />
<br />
The titles of each paper are: 1 2 3 4 ...... 9 10<br />
(you see: each flipchart is one step on the scale...)<br />

<b>>> THE PROGRESS BLUEPRINT <<</b><br />
<br />
It works that way:<br />

On a wall ten flipchart papers (or half filpchart papers - if the wall<br />
is small) are mounted side by side, e.g. with tapes.<br />
<br />
The titles of each paper are: 1 2 3 4 ...... 9 10<br />
(you see: each flipchart is one step on the scale...)<br />
<br />
Then I ask:<br />
"This flipcharts are standing for steps of the progress to solve<br />
XXX(the concern)XXX. The flipchart "10" stands for for having solved it<br />
completely. And "1" stands for having reached nearly nothing.<br />
What flipchart represents that point of the progress you have reached<br />
until now?"<br />
<br />
((the client says "3" e.g.))<br />
<br />
"Ok. Please write down in short words on the "3"-flipchart what you and<br />
others (e.g. clients) recognize, so, that it is a 3."<br />
"What else?"<br />
"What was helpful for you, what supported you, to reach that 3? Please<br />
write it down in short words on the "3"-flipchart with an other colour"<br />
<br />
((Then I ask the client to go in a distance from the wall))<br />
<br />
"Supposed, you have reached the "10": What will be different for you and<br />
others? Please: Write it down in short words on the "10"-flipchart"<br />
"What else?"<br />
<br />
((Then I ask the client to go in a distance from the wall))<br />
<br />
"Fine! So: Where can be the next step on your progress from the 3 to the<br />
10 you can reach - let's say - within the next nnn weeks?"<br />
<br />
((the client says "5" e.g.))<br />
<br />
"Ok. Please write down in short words on the "5"-flipchart what you and<br />
others (e.g. clients) will recognize as differences, so, that it is a 5."<br />
"What else?"<br />
<br />
((Then I ask the client to go in a distance from the wall))<br />
<br />
"What from those what supported you, to reach the 3 will again be<br />
helpful to reach that 5-step? Please write it down in short words on the<br />
"5"-flipchart with an other colour"<br />
"What else will support you, to reach that 5-step? Please write it down<br />
in short words also on the "5"-flipchart!"<br />
<br />
((( and so on with the "scaling work" )))<br />
<br />
You see: the client will do a "scaling walk" along the wall.... and he<br />
will go in distance to reflect ....<br />
And you only have to ask him to write notes on flipcharts .... which is<br />
absolutely accepted in business....<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />
