We are now half-way through the second round of Project Impact. We would love for you all to get to interact with each other. You aredoing such good work. And right now Steve and I are the ones who get to benefit from hearing about your questions, findings, ah-has, frustrations, celebrations, etc. Hence this blog, we'll post questions, reflections, information that might be helfpul to you but we encourage you to respond and read through comments as you have the opportunity. You are such an exceptional group, impressive individually, but together...I don't know if my imagination is even good enough to envision what you could do! So meet one another...share what you're learning...enjoy!

Update on mini-projects

We've had a number of questions about the mini-projects. So here is a down&dirty summary of what you want to be working on...

Below is a brief recap of the process – and what we hope to have at the “end” of it.

-Complete interviews

-Each individual analyzes their data using the What? How? Why? Worksheet and the Frankena/Heart-Triangle Worksheet to get to initial findings.

-Come together with your team and analyze findings again so that you have one set of -findings for your team.

-Write up findings per the instructions. You only need one write-up per team. While you want to do analysis as a group you may want to have one person do the writing. Remember to think about metaphors that you might use for your findings – to help “lift the veil of perception” for those who will read them.


We will be pulling together a compendium of the “best” mini-projects and “publishing” them. We will be sending that out to your CEOs and other stakeholders so that they can get a picture of what it is that we are doing. I know that this can feel a bit overwhelming but take a shot at it and have a fun! Once you have a draft done send it to me and we’ll get you feedback.
