Key-Learnings

  • Strategy helps people work coherently at a distance. A plan gets stuff into the right arrangement in time and space.
  • A strategy sets out what you plan, and how you plan it.
  • Strategy rests on shared values and contextual awareness. Plans rest on organising parts.
  • You use play to change a group into a team.
  • Culture is the collection of assumptions that we choose to keep.

How to steer a group towards a goal

Come play with control, constraints, resonance and emergent behaviours. We’ll contrast with harmony, hacking and improvisation, and try to judge some ways we might steer groups towards goals.
