easier for regional movements to start up, learn, share and
collaborate

global approach could add value
• Encouragement from Barrett Values Centre (UK Values
Alliance funding award)

By creating a values driven community through enabling:

providers, academics, interested parties etc)

expertise and resources with easy access

23. World Values Day:Sprint Working Session

24. Sprint Guidelines
• Output and action focus – what will be the
positive difference we have made after 20
days?
• Never perfect – we can always refine as we
go.
• Collective power – just as your group have
made suggestions based on your best
judgement, so have other groups so please
embrace these ideas (and also add value if
you can).
• Common approach – a consistent
approach (with local freedom if appropriate)
will make for greater impact
• Work FAST– how much can you achieve in
45 minutes and in the 20 days?
• SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable,
Realistic, Timebound).
• KISS – keep things simple so the actions
are achievable.

25. Sprint Working Session Process
• 1 minute: Allocate roles (Chair, Timekeeper, Writer, Presenter). Decide
fictitious name of regional group/movement
• 5 minutes: Silent reflection and writing ideas on post it notes put into centre
of the table. Look at the post-its to stimulate more ideas… but in silence
• 5 minutes: End of silent phase. De-duplicate post it suggestions and group
these ideas into general topics/headings.
• 30 minutes: Build on ideas and translate into 20 day action plan - broken
down into 1-9, 10-19 and day 20)
• 5 minutes: Presentation (capturing comments)

26. Sprint Plan Next Steps
• Jay will make all of these ideas
available at XXXXXXXXXX
• Decide what you want to do –
individually or with others
• You are invited to let Jay know what
you have done so we can
understand what we have achieved
together and celebrate our success
on 20 October
• It’s up to you
