What else would you like to tell us?
· This was an excellent webinar. Thank you for continuing to hold these informational sessions.
· I would like to further explore this model and the challenges Montana as a frontier state and very rural may face with this approach and sector initiatives. I will be in touch. Thank You!
· Very good. Very timely.
· EXCELLENT presentation. I thoroughly enjoyed it and see endless possibilities!
· I really enjoyed what I heard, and I took a lot of notes on this strategy as well. Great job!
· Great webinar.
· Thanks!
· I will be searching for more information.
· Ed Morrison is a rock star! Good job, Insight.
· You might consider a companion session that focuses on techniques for arriving at consensus. In the consensus building processes that I was trained to use, in addition to developing ground rules for interaction there was a time to brainstorm ideas and various collective processes used to combine and/or rank ideas. Also providing tools for arriving at consensus decisions vs. relying on majority decisions.
· Excellent webinar! Thank you and please inform me of future offerings!
· We are following this process in San Diego, but I learned a few ways to guide our career centers as they begin convening sector tables in the community. I would love to know what everyone else out there is doing around sector work.
· These webinars are extremely useful and helpful. Thanks and keep them coming.
What questions, if any, do you still have about strategic doing?
· I would like to see this process melded together with the skill panels process.
· As an independent consultant working in communities, setting up partnerships, etc., I can see LOTS of benefit to strategic doing. The challenge is, how to develop a revenue model that works for me if I am going to make a living at it. Any suggestions? This uses so much of what I know and do, but in a more highly focused and effective way than most, so I would love to adopt and spread the word... if it can be revenue-producing, I'll jump in with all 4 feet! Thanks...
· A good follow up (Session 2) might be more on how to interface strategic doing with an exisitng strategic plan - a more tactical approach. This session was a really excellent overview and introduction.
· It’s a new process for me.
· Thank you for the info. I am working on healthcare sector strategies and am trying to learn how to begin collaborating with others for the work.
· The best part of the webinar is that it will inspire questions for a long time after.
· More clarity regarding roles and responsibilities of serving in the capacity of workforce intermediary.
· None now, but may have some in the future as the process moves forward.
What suggestions, if any, would you make to make this a more effective webinar?
· None to add at this time.
· Giving specific example where something worked and something that need to re-worked.
· I felt that a lot of material was covered and could not really take notes to keep up with it. I am hoping that the additional resources will help to fill in with what Ed was saying.
· Maybe having the slides available for download prior to the call, so that notes can be taken on them either on paper or virtually?
· Possibly video clips of watching portions of the strategy cycle in progress and participants thoughts of what they experienced.
· Very effective webinar . . . very conversational and open to questions. Excellent!
· Examples were particularly helpful and made it more interesting.
· Both moderator and speaker were very good. This was the best webinar I have attended. I felt as if the speaker was talking to a group of like-minded people in my living room.
· Fine intro into the issue and approach.
· I would just like more worksheets and tools to guide the focus of the conversations.
· Follow up webinar.
· More specific examples comparing and contrasting anticipated benefits and challenges of recommended strategy.
· It might be nice to have a blog to go to to share ideas and ask questions.
Some good feedback is contained here – I may think about providing materials up-front and arranging a blog for follow-up conversations in planning future webinars. I don’t know if you have video you can use to show what Strategic Doing looks like, but that’s one suggestion for you that caught my eye.
So – bravo! If you want to do something like this again or to follow up in some way, let’s discuss in August. Until then, thanks again!
