HOW THIS BRAINSTORM WORKS
WE USE THE WHETHER FORECAST BRAINSTORM TOOL
Rather than only exploring the pros versus cons, we’ll discuss the subject of our conversation from 7 different perspectives:
Lay of the land: introductions taking stock of the current situation.
How do you feel about the situation and what facts support your view?
Snow: what do you do when conditions turn cold and frosty?
Exploring what is essential to progress even in challenging conditions.
Wind: what external forces influence your outcomes?
Whether local or prevailing, 'wind' largely represents all other people.
Rain: what potential problems are revealed in the rain?
Positively participate in negative speculation
Rainbow: with your wildest imagination, what would you change?
Consider where to find the 'pots of gold' you're aiming for.
Sun: with energy and optimism, what is the ideal situation?
What would you do with the resources you need to succeed?
Whether Report: drawing conclusions from the conversation.
Gain clarity, direction and inspiration for added action.
PRIORITISE A PROBLEM
MEET YOUR HOST
Celia Gates is the creator of the Whether Forecast and the founder of the Global Brainstrom. Celia will host this conversation.
"Celia left a lasting impact on my approach to strategy, goal setting and decision making. It is her remarkable ability to produce ‘simplicity in complexity’ that enthuses and invigorates processes that are usually cumbersome and far from consensus, using everyone’s strengths. A remarkable lady, with presence, integrity and a superbly simple methodology, that I can highly recommend for managing change and organisational development."
