November 2022 SIKM Call: Arthur Shelley - Becoming Adaptable: the art of creative facilitation to develop individuals and collective capabilities and to share knowledge #monthly-call
|
Hello SIKM Leaders members,
I am honoured to be interacting with you at Stan’s monthly call next week. As announced, we will be doing this one as a 4 PM call, rather than the usual 11 AM Eastern USA Time. 8 AM for me here in Australia is far more social that the previous sessions I have done at 3 AM - Thank you Stan 😊. Maybe less busy for east Coast USA too as you round out your day.
In this conversational session we will explore why Becoming Adaptable is important and how this is relevant to building a collaborative culture for knowledge sharing. We will explore how even knowledge itself is and adaptable science, including why the world shifts through the cocreation and application of new knowledge (faster than competitors). This approach is equally applicable to not for profits as it is for commercial and government entities, as we all need to remain relevant to our stakeholders, who are undergoing rapid change as well. I am looking forward to sharing insights around these concepts through “Collaborative Conversation Spirals”. See you all next week.

Hello KMers,
It was a pleasure to share thoughts with you in “Collaborative conversation Spirals “ today about Becoming Adaptable. I have recorded the Video of the session and will share that tomorrow via a YouTube Link, along with some responses to some of the chat comments we did not get time to cover.
Thanks to all those who attended the session and for your comments.

Hello SIKM Leaders,
Here is the link to the video recording for my Becoming Adaptable session yesterday: https://youtu.be/8ZCFlAI4-wE It is an hour, so longer than most people are prepared to watch, so I suggest browse. We covered 4 “Collaborative Conversation Spirals” on the topics:
More specific insights on these topics can be found is the series of short videos in the “Instant Insights” playlist found here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeqsNgzJnPotjBhDeLlScZrflDM4n-W1f These are effective “Conversation starters” in education and corporate environments to engage people in sharing perspectives on important topics.
I hope that you get value from these videos and that you can leverage them to inspire your KM teams and stakeholders to engage in constructive conversations on how to improve knowledge flow, build trusted relationships and generate social benefits.
Thank you for your participation and interest. A

On Monday we held our 207th monthly call. Thanks to Arthur for presenting, to those who spoke up and posted in the chat, and to all those who attended. Please continue the discussion here by replying to this thread. Here are the details of the call:
From Barbara Fillip to Everyone 04:05 PM Sounds related to a session I attended on Saturday on permanence and impermanence.... perhaps a different angle/perspective. From connie.smith to Everyone 04:13 PM I really like this visual, and I feel like I engage in this regularly at my level in the institution, but there is such a disconnect with the upper administration. How do you bridge that gap? Thanks! From Arno Boersma to Everyone 04:13 PM Likewise, Arthur. Pleasure to reconnect. From connie.smith to Everyone 04:14 PM That would be great, I'll definitely email you! From Madelyn Blair to Everyone 04:14 PM What I like about this is that the skills involved depend on the ones before. From John Hovell (he, his) to Everyone 04:17 PM And no doubt a tie to storytelling/-thinking/-feeling/-listening, right Madelyn and John? From Madelyn Blair to Everyone 04:19 PM @john Hovell, yes, great metaphor! From John Lewis Ed.D. to Everyone 04:20 PM Nice connection, and I agree John, all roads lead to story. From Heather Fox to Everyone 04:24 PM B From connie.smith to Everyone 04:24 PM C From John Lewis Ed.D. to Everyone 04:24 PM E From Stan Garfield to Everyone 04:24 PM D From Rachel Teague, Ed.D (she/hers) to Everyone 04:24 PM D From Arno Boersma to Everyone 04:24 PM D From Ibrahim Diallo to Everyone 04:24 PM B From Bart Verheijen to Everyone 04:24 PM E From Linda Blevins, NSF (she/her) to Everyone 04:24 PM C From Madelyn Blair to Everyone 04:24 PM D From murray jennex to Everyone 04:24 PM e From Patricia Michalski to Everyone 04:24 PM B From Tom Short-San Francisco to Everyone 04:24 PM d From Diana Russo to Everyone 04:25 PM D From Barbara Fillip to Everyone 04:25 PM C. I expect uncertainty to be a given. From Tom Short-San Francisco to Everyone 04:26 PM (would love to analyze this data set - by age? by occupation?) From John Hovell (he, his) to Everyone 04:26 PM (Race, gender, nationality) From murray jennex to Everyone 04:26 PM e, 66, professor From Madelyn Blair to Everyone 04:30 PM Adaptability is about resilience. We have always been a resilient species. From Bart Verheijen to Everyone 04:31 PM Consistency is expected from others, very much so from politicians. That makes them fixed and not adaptable anymore From murray jennex to Everyone 04:33 PM that is too simple, consistency in belief is welcome, this may cause inconsistent behavior but if consistent in belief and principles that is okay From connie.smith to Everyone 04:38 PM So important to interact respectfully to encourage more collaboration, rather than being made to 'feel stupid' for saying things you may think are interesting/important. From Madelyn Blair to Everyone 04:39 PM Connie, indeed, making others feel stupid is a great way to shut down communication altogether. Mutual respect is the treatment. From connie.smith to Everyone 04:40 PM Too true! Hard to convey simply why KM is so interesting/challenging/exciting -- in my opinion! From John Hovell (he, his) to Everyone 04:41 PM Art, love your thoughts as always. I’m still processing the first DNA strand “acknowledge differences”. I wonder if there’s “realize self” up there too? Seems so important (and challenging) From connie.smith to Everyone 04:41 PM Agree, John! Good point! From John Hovell (he, his) to Everyone 04:42 PM Thanks Connie :) From Madelyn Blair to Everyone 04:42 PM John, so much begins with real self-knowledge. From John Lewis Ed.D. to Everyone 04:43 PM Great point Art, perspective drives perception. From connie.smith to Everyone 04:43 PM This reminds me of the 5 blind men explaining their understanding of what an elephant is from their location at the elephant, from Socrates. From Madelyn Blair to Everyone 04:44 PM Excellent article from NYT this morning speaks to the perspectives and how they prevent us from seeing the real connections between perspectives. You can find it here. From connie.smith to Everyone 04:45 PM Important to reiterate what you interpreted another to have said, to clarify that you understood what they were saying and so they know you understand as they said it. From John Hovell (he, his) to Everyone 04:46 PM It’s when you make someone else’s perspective “wrong” or “excluded” where there’s noticeable impact… it’s in the relationship and conversational awareness? From Tom Short-San Francisco to Everyone 04:47 PM @Madelyn - I read that too and thought it was a fascinating perspective. From John Hovell (he, his) to Everyone 04:48 PM +1 Connie :) From connie.smith to Everyone 04:48 PM The level of trust in those 'managing' the protocols was, in my opinion, a HUGE effect of the taking mindset. From connie.smith to Everyone 04:52 PM Sounds like you're talking more about moderation, which is sorely lacking in this current culture, unfortunately. From Madelyn Blair to Everyone 04:53 PM +1 Connie From Madelyn Blair to Everyone 04:58 PM John Seely Brown said that innovation occurs in the white spaces between disciplines. From John Lewis Ed.D. to Everyone 04:59 PM Art, seems like it requires curiosity but how do you generate more curiosity? From Madelyn Blair to Everyone 05:00 PM @John Lewis, curiosity can be nurtured by asking questions, by watching a child explore, and lots more. From John Hovell (he, his) to Everyone 05:00 PM Thanks Arthur!! From Bart Verheijen to Everyone 05:00 PM Thanks Arthur! From Tom Short-San Francisco to Everyone 05:00 PM Curiosity exists when there is no fear. From Madelyn Blair to Everyone 05:00 PM Thanks, Art, very enjoyable conversation. From connie.smith to Everyone 05:00 PM This was really interesting! Thank you, Arthur! From John Lewis Ed.D. to Everyone 05:00 PM Thanks Arthur! From Arno Boersma to Everyone 05:00 PM So much food for thought! Thanks, Arthur. From Tom Short-San Francisco to Everyone 05:01 PM thanks, Arthur. cheers From Ibrahim Diallo to Everyone 05:01 PM thank you Arthur and Stan From Diana Russo to Everyone 05:01 PM Thank you! |
