A Whole New Approach

Originally posted to sCNN – the smallChangeNewsNetwork

Sunday night I had a chance to facilitate an OpenSpace meeting for a local church group. While they were doing their work, I took advantage of the creative buzz in the room to start sketching out the answers to the four big questions we’d identified recently as the core project template:

What do we see? What do we want? What do we have? and What do we need? The process did much to shake up my thinking and surface some overwhelm, too. This did much to undermine the MembersWebsite approach to implementation, in favor of a WeblogDirectory approach. In a later iteration of these questions, I rolled the first two together and added a new fourth: What will we do?

Still swimming in the openness of these four, a more focused list has been taking shape on the StrategicGivingQuestions page. Will start scribbling some answers to these new questions as soon as I have the energy for another shake up.

Elsewhere, today I successfully wrestled this here blog into a three-column format. Style sheets are still largely a mystery to me, so this was no small feat. My apologies to IE users who seem to be stuck with a much bigger font size than I’d like. Just don’t know how to satisfy both Mozilla and IE.
