On April 20 a group of Dept of Sustainability & Environment Facilitators completed their final workshop before practically applying the parallel thinking techniques for their work based assessment to receive the Blue Hat Facilitator pin.
A substantial part of this second workshop involved the group sharing instances where they have already applied the techniques in the workplace and discussing different ways that it can be applied in future sessions.
The work-based assessment involves running one meeting using a specific thinking agenda of their own design and the facilitation of a creative thinking session using one or more of a number of lateral thinking tools designed to generate new ideas and perspectives.
Based on experience to date and their knowledge of the thinking tools the DSE will very soon have nine more facilitators to assist with more effective meetings and generate new ideas and fresh perspectives.
