How do we get from here to ??

1.Envisage the system, explore the process

2.The design the system - collaborative?

3.Build - openly?

Today - play through what that involves

Playing through the journey

•Share an understanding of where we are

•Cards give options for approach, designing, and building

•Choose and organise within 15 point budget

•Tell stories - pathways - for students, staff, administration

1. The college now - and in prospect

•What is the current system?•What are the challenges?•What changes in prospect?•What aims for the future?

Are you going for an open or closed approach to development and building - tech or people-led?

2. Consider your approach

3. Choose development cards

What methods will you use during development to match your approach?

4. Choose tools and activities

What tools and activities will make up the final system in the light of previous discussion?

5. Write the storiesIn groups, use the storysheets to describe what happens to:• a student• a teacher• a manager

Facilitators may throw in some unexpected challenges and opportunities

6. Keep talking online

Consider using an online collaboration system, like that used to develop a proposal for the UK Cabinet Office http://www.innovationexchange.net
