RMB NGO LEADERSHIP NETWORK SESSION OUTPUT

Workshop Objectives

   To build a shared understanding of our future choices and responses in
    South Africa
   To identify key capacities and actions in order to pursue our preferred
    future options
   To highlight those skills, capacities and interests which exist in this group
    to help us move in this preferred direction
   To create an environment, to share these valuable contributions to the
    benefit of all participants
   To clarify the way forward in order to sustain and build on this sharing,
    and create a community of practice

Workshop Principles

   The leadership and capacity we need is already in this room
   We encourage listening with curiosity, and being ok with not necessarily
    knowing the answer
   Ask for what you need and offer what you can
   There are no experts, only learners and practitioners



Appreciative Inquiry

Appreciative Inquiry is a strategy for intentional change that identifies the
best of ‘what is’ to pursue dreams and possibilities of ‘what could be’; a
cooperative search for strengths, passions and life-giving forces that are
found within every system and that hold potential for inspired, positive
change. (Cooperrider & Srivastva, 1987)

Assumptions

   In every community something works
   What we focus on becomes our reality
   Reality is created in the moment—there is more than one reality
   The act of asking questions influences the community in some way
   People have more confidence and comfort to journey into the future
    when they carry forward parts of the past
          o If we carry forward parts of the past, they should be what is best

         o    It is important to value differences

         o    The language we use creates our reality



                                                                                1

General flow of an Appreciative Inquiry process:

Appreciative inquiry can be done as a longer structured process going
through phases of:
  Discovery: identifying organisational processes that work well.
  Dream: envisioning processes that would work well in the future.
  Design: Planning and prioritising those processes.
  Delivery: implementing the proposed design.

The basic idea is to build organisations around what works, rather than trying
to fix what doesn't.

Dialogue Interviews

The aim of the dialogue interview is to try to come to see through the eyes of
the other person, and to create connection. In the best dialogue interviews,
the interviewee comes to realize they know something they didn’t know
they knew, or they come to realizations about
what they must do – they have A-ha
experiences.

Guidelines for Dialogue Interviews

   Invite their story
   Connect heart to heart
   Monitor your listening
   Seek to understand patterns
   Notice energy and go with the flow
   Generative silence
   Leave the door open

Appreciative Dialogue Questions

People engaged with each other in pairs around these questions


   Think of a story of your work, when you felt happy/excited/fulfilled
   What was it about your own leadership that made that story what it was?
   As you consider this story and what you do now, what do you think you
    might have to offer this network of people contributing to the Walk
    Together Scenario?




                                                                             3
Open Space Session Technology


The goal of an Open Space Technology meeting is to create time and space
for people to engage deeply and creatively around issues of concern to
them. The agenda is set by people with the power and desire to see it
through. Typically, Open Space meetings result in transformative
experiences for the individuals and groups involved. It is a simple and
powerful way to catalyze effective working conversations and to truly invite
organisations to thrive in times of swirling change.




                                                                               4
Principles of Open Space:

   Whoever comes are the right people
   Whenever it starts is the right time
   Whatever happens is the only thing that could have
   When it’s over it’s over

                                                   The Law of Two Feet: If you find
                                                   yourself in a situation where you
                                                   are not contributing or learning,
                                                   move somewhere where you can.
                                                      PASSION & RESPONSIBILTY



The four principles and the law work to create a powerful event motivated by
the passion and bounded by the responsibility of the participants.

Roles in Open Space:

   Host—announce and host a workshop
   Participant—participate in a workshop
   Bumble bee—“shop” between workshops
   Butterfly—take time out to reflect


General flow of an Open Space meeting:

The group convenes in a circle and is welcomed by the sponsor.
The facilitator provides an overview of the process and explains how it
works. The facilitator invites people with issues of concern to come into the
circle, write the issue on a piece of paper and announces it to the group.
 These people are "conveners." Each convener places their paper on the wall
and chooses a time and a place to meet. This process continues until there
are no more agenda items.
The group then breaks up and heads to the agenda wall, by now covered
with a variety of sessions. Participants take note of the time and place for
sessions they want to be involved in.
Dialogue sessions convene for the rest of the meeting. Recorders
(determined by each group) capture the important points and post the
reports on the news wall. All of these reports will be harvested in some way
and returned to the larger group.
Following a closing or a break, the group might move into ‘convergence’, a
process that takes the issues that have been discussed and attaches action
plans to them to "get them out of the room."
The group then finishes the meeting with a closing circle where people are
invited to share comments, insights and commitments arising from the
process.

    Leave life jacket at home

What needs to happen next?



                                                                                                              7

2. Time is against us (Leveraging off the pain)

Convenor: Oupa Mabena

Participants: Dawn, Elizabeth, Jerry

Key insights:

   What you do with time doesn’t’ just impact on you- consider the impact
    on others as well. How can we collectively use our time

    have a baby; if a baby comes 6 months; chances of survival are
    decreased)
   It takes 100 years to grow an oak tree & 6 months to grow a butternut!
    Which do we want (want others) to be

Feedback – Thank you very much! No really… Thank YOU… No really…

    An enriching, stimulating and engaging workshop. So much to think
    about, so much to take forward...walking together...

   The opportunity to attend your very well organised and well put together
    NGO session... I thoroughly enjoyed it, found it most thought provoking,
    very interactive and when I left I was more positive than when I arrived on
    Wednesday morning about where we as individuals and as a country
    should be heading… Also for the Jim Collins book which I am looking
    forward to reading in due course.

   The awesome training, meals and networking with others. Thanks for
    making a difference.

   The sessions are very empowering – keep them coming. We are moving
    closer to the real “walk together”.

   It is awesome to get to know other NGO’s who are not involved in feed.
    WOW thanks.

   The food and camaraderie is very encouraging and makes one feel very
    excited about our NGO. I love the buzz, excitement, challenges. Most of
    all to think outside the box get out of the boat and walk on the water.




                                                                             16
Thank YOU, our Partners, for your continued support of this ever changing

Reos Rmb Ngo Workshop Output

  • 1. RMB NGO LEADERSHIP NETWORK SESSION OUTPUT Workshop Objectives  To build a shared understanding of our future choices and responses in South Africa  To identify key capacities and actions in order to pursue our preferred future options  To highlight those skills, capacities and interests which exist in this group to help us move in this preferred direction  To create an environment, to share these valuable contributions to the benefit of all participants  To clarify the way forward in order to sustain and build on this sharing, and create a community of practice Workshop Principles  The leadership and capacity we need is already in this room  We encourage listening with curiosity, and being ok with not necessarily knowing the answer  Ask for what you need and offer what you can  There are no experts, only learners and practitioners Appreciative Inquiry Appreciative Inquiry is a strategy for intentional change that identifies the best of ‘what is’ to pursue dreams and possibilities of ‘what could be’; a cooperative search for strengths, passions and life-giving forces that are found within every system and that hold potential for inspired, positive change. (Cooperrider & Srivastva, 1987) Assumptions  In every community something works  What we focus on becomes our reality  Reality is created in the moment—there is more than one reality  The act of asking questions influences the community in some way  People have more confidence and comfort to journey into the future when they carry forward parts of the past o If we carry forward parts of the past, they should be what is best o It is important to value differences o The language we use creates our reality 1
  • 2. Problem Solving Appreciative Inquiry “Felt Need” identification of the Appreciating and valuing the best of problem “what is” Analysis of causes Envisioning “what might be”, Dialoguing “What should be” Analysis of possible solutions Innovating “What will be” Basic assumption: an Basic assumption: an organisation is a organisation is a problem to be mystery to be embraced. solved. 2
  • 3. General flow of an Appreciative Inquiry process: Appreciative inquiry can be done as a longer structured process going through phases of:  Discovery: identifying organisational processes that work well.  Dream: envisioning processes that would work well in the future.  Design: Planning and prioritising those processes.  Delivery: implementing the proposed design. The basic idea is to build organisations around what works, rather than trying to fix what doesn't. Resource: http://appreciativeinquiry.case.edu/ Dialogue Interviews The aim of the dialogue interview is to try to come to see through the eyes of the other person, and to create connection. In the best dialogue interviews, the interviewee comes to realize they know something they didn’t know they knew, or they come to realizations about what they must do – they have A-ha experiences. Guidelines for Dialogue Interviews  Invite their story  Connect heart to heart  Monitor your listening  Seek to understand patterns  Notice energy and go with the flow  Generative silence  Leave the door open Appreciative Dialogue Questions People engaged with each other in pairs around these questions  Think of a story of your work, when you felt happy/excited/fulfilled  What was it about your own leadership that made that story what it was?  As you consider this story and what you do now, what do you think you might have to offer this network of people contributing to the Walk Together Scenario? 3
  • 4. Open Space Session Technology The goal of an Open Space Technology meeting is to create time and space for people to engage deeply and creatively around issues of concern to them. The agenda is set by people with the power and desire to see it through. Typically, Open Space meetings result in transformative experiences for the individuals and groups involved. It is a simple and powerful way to catalyze effective working conversations and to truly invite organisations to thrive in times of swirling change. 4
  • 5. Principles of Open Space:  Whoever comes are the right people  Whenever it starts is the right time  Whatever happens is the only thing that could have  When it’s over it’s over The Law of Two Feet: If you find yourself in a situation where you are not contributing or learning, move somewhere where you can. PASSION & RESPONSIBILTY The four principles and the law work to create a powerful event motivated by the passion and bounded by the responsibility of the participants. Roles in Open Space:  Host—announce and host a workshop  Participant—participate in a workshop  Bumble bee—“shop” between workshops  Butterfly—take time out to reflect General flow of an Open Space meeting: The group convenes in a circle and is welcomed by the sponsor. The facilitator provides an overview of the process and explains how it works. The facilitator invites people with issues of concern to come into the circle, write the issue on a piece of paper and announces it to the group. These people are "conveners." Each convener places their paper on the wall and chooses a time and a place to meet. This process continues until there are no more agenda items. The group then breaks up and heads to the agenda wall, by now covered with a variety of sessions. Participants take note of the time and place for sessions they want to be involved in. Dialogue sessions convene for the rest of the meeting. Recorders (determined by each group) capture the important points and post the reports on the news wall. All of these reports will be harvested in some way and returned to the larger group. Following a closing or a break, the group might move into ‘convergence’, a process that takes the issues that have been discussed and attaches action plans to them to "get them out of the room." The group then finishes the meeting with a closing circle where people are invited to share comments, insights and commitments arising from the process. 5
  • 7. Our open space question: What idea do you have that you wish to explore with others here in support of the ‘Walk Together’ Scenario? Round One 1. If you want to walk on water, you have to get out of the boat 2. Time is against all of us 3. Leveraging off the pain 4. Initiating social media networks between NGO’s 5. I want to start a drop in centre for kids. I need help 6. What of SA’s past should we take forward and what should we leave behind? Round Two 1. How do we bring together different interests? 2. Database of organisation strengths & needs 3. De-politicize the walk together? 4. Generosity of spirit to share lessons will bring about appropriate solutions 5. Collaborating all our skills together in a performances/concert and create a fundraising platform for all NGO’s Round 1 1. If you want to walk on water, you have to get out of the boat Convenor: Inge Walters Participants: Erica, S’bo, Karla, Theo, Janet, Stacey, Thérèse, Karen Key insights:  Trust the impossible  Be bold, get out of the comfort zone not for you but your cause = put fears aside  Power of people’s stories = smaller groups + people  Passion makes the difference, belief, trust, persistence & take the first step  Act as if you already have the courage  Not all about me - sometimes we don’t try because …  Focus on the positive  Leave life jacket at home What needs to happen next? 7

Thanks for making a difference.  The sessions are very empowering – keep them coming. We are moving closer to the real “walk together”.  It is awesome to get to know other NGO’s who are not involved in feed.
