OES - Afternoon Design Session

The playing field

Untitled Slide

• Each team has a focus
• We are generating solutions on the institutional level
• Not all solutions on the institutional level need to touch the whole institution
• Building to think, not thinking to build
• Building = Writing and Drawing

Untitled Slide

• You are not wearing a seatbelt
• Not every idea will change OES for the better but any one idea could
• You can always make less from more, but you cannot make more from less
• Make it now, make it better later
• You will need to move faster than you want

• not a discussion
• I like, I wish, What if
• I don't understand, seems impractical, here we go again
• we are breaking our habit of thinking and reinforcing that good ideas are the only ones that have value, and...
• We are providing language for telling the truth early with low stakes.

Pick two people to go, and the rest stay. Give feedback on the prototype without getting any explanation from the team that created it.
