February Webinar

 

This talk explores how a practitioner can develop a Soft OR practice by using Rich Notes, a novel approach to note taking and diagramming during online meetings that uses a non-linear, non-hierarchical, unconstrained and distributed layout that helps explore the richness of real-world problematic situations. Rich Notes has been developed within an action research programme consisting of over 500 real-world participant interactions and focuses on how practitioners can listen to different perspectives, integrate different points of view, document learning, summarise insights and propose action to be taken. Using Rich Notes in your practice can help you understand what the client needs more quickly and suggest proposals for work that are shorter and more "on point" and increase the chances of being commissioned, in addition to helping structure and manage the delivery of projects.
