I use this technology when teaching the "Death By Meeting" system to Virtual Teams. It is especially helpful when identifying a Thematic Goal and Defining Objectives.
Tom Hanks narrates the epic story of the 9/11 boatlift that evacuated half a million people from the stricken piers and seawalls of Lower Manhattan.
BOATLIFT premiered on September 8th at the 9/11 Tenth Anniversary Summit: Remembrance/Renewal/Resilience in Washington. The Summit kicked off a national movement to foster community and national resilience in the face of future crises. See www.road2resilience.org to become a part of the campaign to build a more resilient world.
Thank you to IATF member Rabbi Shmuly Rothman for pointing us to this video.
From YouTube user havelah's video description:
An elderly couple walked into the lobby of the Mayo Clinic for a checkup and spotted a piano. Theyve been married for 62 years and hell be 90 this year. Check out this impromptu performance. We are only as old as we feel, its all attitude. Enjoy! They certainly do.
When a team gathers to make a decision it can be beneficial to first take the team through a SWOT Analysis.
SWOT analysis may be used in any decision-making situation when a desired end-state (objective) has been defined.
SWOT analysis may also be used in pre-crisis planning and preventive crisis management.
SWOT analysis may also be used in creating a recommendation during a viability study / survey.
Identification of SWOTs is essential because subsequent steps in the process of planning for achievement of the selected objective may be derived from the SWOTs.
