notes by Jon Stahl

EchoDitto's practice for sharing innovation in their ~20 person organization: weekly, Monday-lunch "creative jam" sessions. Share interesting new tools, statistics, campaigns doing interesting things, etc. "skipping rocks" One hour.

1. One-minute summary
2. Two minutes of questions --- what does it do, how could we use this
in a campaign context.
3. Tag source URLs in del.icio.us (shared delicious account. Tag with
staff name.)
4. Lightly facilitated
5. They don't capture the discussion – only capture the sites via delicious.

They follow the rabbit trails for a couple of minutes.


Testimonials

"The thing that draws me back is not the 'professional development', but rather the incredibly powerful connection back to why we do all what we do. WOC recovered for me the purpose of this work and why I am in it. I think this is true for many who have been there – and the realization and clarification of this with trusted friends leads to a lifelong bond."
