2. It shares stories and lessons about teamwork from geese flying in formation, highlighting how individuals and groups can achieve more by working together.
3. It briefly outlines Nonaka's framework for knowledge creation, which involves transforming tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge through socialization, externalization, combination, and internalization.
This document summarizes copyright law, fair use, and Creative Commons licensing. It outlines the origins of copyright law in medieval times and in the US Constitution. It provides rules of thumb for when you can absolutely use a work, cannot use a work, or might be able to use it under fair use. Fair use is analyzed based on the purpose, nature of the work, amount used, and effect on the market. Creative Commons licensing is introduced as a way for creators to grant predefined permissions for others to use their works. The document cautions against assumptions about fair use and educational use and stresses getting permission when in doubt.
Water is taken from natural and manmade sources like rivers and reservoirs, then transported via large pipes to water treatment facilities. The water is cleaned at these facilities and pumped through trunk mains to underground reservoirs or water towers. From there, smaller mains distribute the drinking water through networks of pipes to homes and businesses, though it can take up to a week to travel from treatment to taps in some areas.

The training will use inspirational videos, brain tests, surveys, interviews and other interactive activities to engage participants over its multiple sessions.
1. Deep listening involves understanding people's mental models or underlying assumptions that influence how they view the world.
2. Mental models are deeply held beliefs and generalizations that shape our thinking in mostly unconscious ways.
3. Different types of conversations exist including downloading information, debating opposing views, and reflective dialogue aimed at inquiry.
4. Effective listening requires an open mind, open heart, and open will to connect to an emerging future rather than reconfirming past views.
The document discusses various inventive principles and techniques for generating new ideas, including brainstorming, lateral thinking triggers, scenario building, jump-storming, and the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ). It emphasizes using multiple idea generation methods to circumvent the brain's inertia and increase the probability of reaching better ideas faster. The inventive principles from TRIZ aim to eliminate system contradictions, transition to different system levels or completeness, and maximize an ideal final result over costs and harms.
Mind mapping is a visual note-taking technique that involves arranging key words, ideas or concepts radially around a central theme. It encourages spontaneous thinking and creativity. Mind maps can be created using pen and paper or digital mind mapping software. They are useful for note-taking, studying, brainstorming and problem-solving by allowing the user to see connections and patterns between ideas. Guidelines for effective mind mapping include starting with a central theme, using images and colors, printing keywords rather than sentences, and constantly revising and adding new ideas to the map.
