Facilitating with Sticky Notes

July 24, 2013 by Beth Kanter

Last week, I had the opportunity to participate in a convening of  "network practitioners"  (consultants and others who are working with or networks of people and organizations on social change goals) at the Packard Foundation and designed and facilitated by consultants Gigi Barsoum and Heather Grant-McLeod.    The purpose was share insights and learn more about creating, supporting, and managing networks.   I enjoy meetings when there has been a lot given to the design and you have expert … [Read more...]
