Everyone’s
     an
     expert




Thursday, 8 November 12
It’s true.

                          Some
                          people are
                          experts.




Thursday, 8 November 12
But when it
            comes to dealing
            with difficult
            people, who is
            the real expert?




Thursday, 8 November 12
What do we do when we’re looking for
                  magical answers...

Thursday, 8 November 12
... and there are none?


Thursday, 8 November 12
Action storming is a way to rapidly
                 prototype new behaviours
Thursday, 8 November 12
It is based on a peer-to-peer
                          model of working with groups




Thursday, 8 November 12
And on relational learning and interacting
                 with each other
Thursday, 8 November 12
There’s this
          situation at
              work...




                            Real world,
                          not imagined

Action Storming
                             provides rapid
                          experimentation with
                            new behaviours




Thursday, 8 November 12
and
                           encourages
                          breakthrough
                             learning




Thursday, 8 November 12
avoids
                          analysis paralysis

 storming?
