A human voice
Willing to share
Building on what’s there
Promoting conversations
Ready to experiment
Evolving
Official voice
Anxious to control
Concerned to “own”
Emphasising publishing
One version for all
Little flexibility
... if there is a cultural change

Envisage the system, explore the process
The design the system - collaborative?
Build - openly?
Today - play through what that involves
How do we get from here to ??

Playing through the journey
Share an understanding of where we are
Cards give options for approach, designing, and building
Choose and organise within 15 point budget
Tell stories - pathways - for students, staff, administration

1. The college now - and in prospect
What is the current system?
What are the challenges?
What changes in prospect?
What aims for the future?

2. Consider your approach Are you going for an open or closed approach to development and building - tech or people-led?

3. Choose development cards What methods will you use during development to match your approach?

4. Choose tools and activities What tools and activities will make up the final system in the light of previous discussion?

5. Write the stories
In groups, use the story
sheets to describe what
happens to:
a student
a teacher
a manager
Facilitators may throw in some unexpected challenges and opportunities

6. Keep talking online Consider using an online collaboration system, like that used to develop a proposal for the UK Cabinet Office http://www.innovationexchange.net
