We're really excited to launch this course on facilitating high-speed design-thinking sessions. Lightning Labs developed out of a need to END circular conversations and develop ACTION-ORIENTED and DECISIVE meetings that focus on developing and testing solutions (created using empathy and by defining the challenge) quickly. But does it work? It sure does! --100 % of participants agreed more effective than traditional brainstorming. --96% noted sessions produced meaningful outcomes.

Time flies when you're supporting #change and #transformation for #communitycare #healthcare and #notforprofits !!
Though I didn't really feel like celebrating yesterday, several people pointed out (thanks to those reminders from LinkedIn) that it was Big Eye Innovation's THIRD anniversary! 🥂 Last year I described us as being in the "toddler years" of consulting. And though three is maybe still on the cusp of toddlerhood, we're getting steadier on our feet, developing our "character" and of course, gaining support from some incredible teams including those at Sinai Health , AGE-WELL NCE Inc., and Angel Investors Ontario. A special thanks to the great folks at Home & Community Support Services Grey Bruce for giving us the opportunity to dig in to some "big picture" thinking, connect with a dynamic and fun leadership team and build on the strengths of an incredible organization 😎. THREE has been great, but FOUR? We're pretty sure is going to be a BIGGER and even BETTER year! 🥳 🎉 🙌 #milestone #consulting #growth #innovation #designthinking #leadershipdevelopment

To solve a problem, you need information. This desire to turn a blind eye is troubling... #data #healthinformation #covid #ontariohealth #healthreporting

Anyone who promotes #play #safetytofail and #creative solutions is a friend in our book!
So great to see and meet the awesome Shawn Kanungo irl at the Ontario Community Support Association (OCSA) conference! I've been a fan since his pandemic days when he was presenting in empty theatres. I also often recommend his book, The Bold Ones, to clients. Having worked in the sector for the last 16 years I know the people attending are resourceful, creative and innovative and so the presentation really landed. I'm also grateful to anyone who encourages people to think about incorporating PLAY into work and highlights how incremental changes--including mindset-- can have a BIG IMPACT. (True story: Big Eye Innovation is actually a bit of a tongue in cheek name). Also, I have to admit it was kinda nice to sit back and enjoy the conference instead of presenting/co-ordinating a gazillion moving pieces like last year's 😉. More insights coming soon! #communitycareconnectconference #innovation #disruptyourself #homecare

Getting #insights into what people are thinking doesn't have to always be a long, difficult, process. Check out this #hack for collecting meaningful and relevant #feedback that gives you #truth without putting you on the defense. #facilitation #bettermeeting #data #staffexperience #patientexperience #suggestions
Want EVERYONE to provide instant #feedback on a meeting, workshop or even on a new program or idea you've just presented? The "I like, I wish, I wonder" loop is dead simple and it's also highly #effective . You're also likely to get a greater response rate than a survey. I use this in real life activities but also it's an easy one to use in Zoom , Mural and Miro in the virtual world. It's great for #leaders and #facilitators alike. Want more tools for effective meetings? I just launched a 7-minute video on better #brainstorming using #SCAMPER my featured section--check it out! #feedbackloop #data #effectivemeetings

One of our favourite ways to boost your team's brainpower! If it's good enough for #ikea and #apple why not for your organization??
If your last brainstorming session didn't live up to your expectations, why not try out the SCAMPER method? This is one of my favourite, fun tools for generating new and creative ideas for products and services and it takes about 7-minutes to "get." Want to create a stellar session for your team? Reach out for a 30-minute free chat! https://lnkd.in/gHgNk42A
Amazing SCAMPER brainstorming tool to generate new service ideas!

Want a consultant that is well...less "consultanty?" We get it. Lots of consultants enjoy speaking in platitudes and staying at around 50,000 feet. That's not us. We help translate those lofty goals into terms your team can wrap their head around and action. If you're nodding your head to this, let's chat! #notforprofit #homehealthcare #strategicplanning #strategytoaction #consultant #nonprofit #socialenterprise #healthcare #strategicengagement
Despite being a highly visual person, I suck at remembering to take pictures at events I run. Such was the case for yesterday's #strategicplanning session with the wonderful peeps at Home & Community Support Services Grey Bruce . It was an action-packed day to help Carolyn Laitinen, MBA, BBA and her dedicated team to set priorities for year two of their strategic plan. Some of my favourite feedback on the day? "I like how we made strategic planning less overwhelming." "I like being able to contribute." "I like: the day, the flow, the activities, the priorities and the videos." "I like knowing how to move forward." Honestly this kind of feedback warms my ❤️ and makes all the planning (and driving) worth it. Also, as a little aside, I tried out a fun #AI tool called Pictory that generated a summary video of Strategic Pillar priorities to help highlight the accomplishments of the day. It worked!!! People loved seeing their summary statements on the "big screen." 🙂 #facilitation #communitycare #planning #goals Jo-Anne Cook , Cody Hay
