Assignments:
- two-page paper: on
the first page, describe the best meeting you have ever experienced,
and why it was the best, and on the second page, the worst meeting
you have ever experienced and why it was the worst -- 10% of the
final grade;
- using the guidelines
in Doyle and Strauss, and process suggestions from de Bono, analyze
why the best meeting you described above worked so well, and suggest
ways to improve the worst meeting you described above -- 10% of
final grade;
- choose three "clients"
for the semester: a group or division or project at work; a volunteer
group, community group, church or school group with which you
are involved; or some organizations with whom you might like to
work in the future. During the course (that is, sometime
before March 2003), use the techniques presented to design meeting
processes appropriate to each "client," and apply the
futures participation techniques studied to at least one of your
"clients." These are design assignments, submitted
as draft agendas/worksheets -- 30% of final grade;
- Design a strategic
planning process for a specific example client, and create a facilitator's
handbook -- featuring, for example, powerpoint slides explaining
the planning model and any process activities, group process worksheets,
and evaluation forms -- for use in implementing that planning
process and change management activities to follow -- 50% of final
grade.
