    @all

    Pls add the categories ’Templates & forms’, ’How-to & DIY’, ’Design’, ’Education’ and ’Entertainment’ to my SlideShow!!

    (upper-right corner, click on Add Category)

    Somehow, I can’t do it myself but I strongly believe this content is very useful for these categories too!

    Thanks!!

    @FLArtist

    To slow down you should use the ’next slide’-button rather than the ’play’-button. Clicking the ’play’-button SlideShare will use a fixed time-window per slide.

    Thanks for your nice words! Spread them... :)

    Rgds, Rob

    • cross-pollination (combine across fields of interest)
  12. HOW
    • just go sit together (it takes only a one hour meeting)
    • involve outsiders (other department or outside organization)
    • give to get back (share juicy knowledge first ; new developments, insights, etc.)
    • share your challenge(s) (needs, struggles, etc.)
    • brainstorm together : how to deal with these challenges? (don’t solve directly, provide creative space)
    • structurize & work out solution(s)
    • schedule next TTT
  13. WHERE
