Professional Development: Explore, Don’t Expire

Available at the ISA Convention 2018

April 15, 2018, ISA Convention 2018 – Baltimore, MD

Speaker: Nate Garvis, Co-Founder – Studio/E

A follow up to the ISA 360 discussion, the Explore, Don’t Expire Workshop will introduce participants to the method, skills and practices of effective Exploratory Leadership. Exploration is an essential leadership practice in order to thrive in today’s constantly changing environment.   Operating in a world where business models expire rapidly, technology changes at an unprecedented pace, and the habits and needs of people can morph overnight is overwhelming.  While the established managerial practices of predict, plan, execute, measure and repeat are still valuable, they are deeply incomplete when one faces situations where the old instruction books don’t apply.  Dually literate leaders, those who know how to manage and explore, thrive by learning their way forward; moving ideas and their teams with energy, focus and consistent actions that create more possibilities and prosperous paths forward.

Participants will be introduced to and given an overview of the Studio/E Map and Compass Tools as well as engage in interactive exercises that will give them hands on experiences in:

  • Understanding the utility of an organization’s purpose statement
  • Utilizing the practice of Minimum Viable Progress – the process of carving down big ideas into smaller actionable steps
  • Employing Exploratory Questions that create greater clarity around:
    • Asset-based actions
    • Ideas that focus on a customer’s true needs
    • Drawing effective operational boundaries that create zones of safety
    • Engaging and enrolling the talents of others to generate more powerful momentum.
