- 9. Brainzooming™ 9#GigabitCitySummit One‐to‐Many Task Force Holds Community Forums Makes sense when . . . • One person has a more informed or important perspective than all others • Many people need to hear the same message • No expectation of attendees introducing new and different perspectives • Presenter time is limited • Want to readily capture a single message
- 10. Brainzooming™ 10#GigabitCitySummit Challenges for a Task Force and Community Forums Typical Task Force Challenges A select committee participates and struggles to include diverse perspectives Community meetings with one individual providing input at any one time Difficult to quantify/describe public participation Protracted meetings and time (perhaps months) to deliver a report Challenges in getting positive attention Public interest turning to frustration
- 11. Brainzooming™ 11#GigabitCitySummit A Similar Situation with Google Fiber An official said: “Google Fiber doesn’t come with an instruction manual on how to use it. We’re looking to groups such as Social Media Club of Kansas City to lead the way in creating a vision for the future.”
- 14. Brainzooming™ 14#GigabitCitySummit The Brainzooming Group strategy for “Building the Gigabit City” • Create a multiple phase approach to address the opportunity and issues faced by SMCKC. • Design the process around community and global input on the issues • Identify invited participants to ensure both collective diversity and interest/knowledge base within small brainstorming groups • Leave the door open to other participants (even contrarians and opponents) who self‐identify • Design and facilitate an interactive brainstorming session with 90+ participants focused on seven targeted topics. • Deliver a comprehensive 120‐page report within 5 weeks as input for Mayors’ Bi‐State Innovation Team. Downloaded by people in 35+ states, 30+ countries.

- 18. Brainzooming™ 18#GigabitCitySummit Why the Collaborative Process Is More Effective • Gains efficiency by allowing multiple people to contribute and collaborate simultaneously • Uses multiple inputs ‐ both in‐person and online • Provides structured input opportunities (vs. only a “blank sheet of paper” approach) • Gives visibility to the discussion throughout the process • Promotes additive input • Offers participants a range of concrete methods to contribute from which they can choose the one(s) that best fit their timing and inclination • Applies an event production orientation to the venue, atmosphere, and ambiance

- 39.
