When you bring a large group in you can identify common topics of interest and set an agenda, but there are almost always other areas participants would like addressed.
Open Space Meetings/ Unconferences allow participants to set the agenda and create meetings on the topics relevant to them. Then each participant chooses which meeting to attend - where they can either share their experience or learn.
At the end, each group shares their top learnings/ insights with the whole group, so everyone benefits from every meeting.
In expanding the scope of pharmacists' practice, one key change was pharmacists starting to prescribe medications.
There are multiple players in the game - the advocacy associations for each province, the regulatory colleges for each province, the university that teaches pharmacists, the pharmacy chains and the pharmacists themselves.
To drive success, instead of dictating a plan the regulatory colleges of all 4 Atlantic provinces, the 4 advocacy associations and Dalhousie University brought Ravi in to facilitate an Open Space Meeting/ Unconference to enable the pharmacists themselves to chart the way forward and lay out what each of these key players needed to do to make this happen.
Buy-in and commitment from strategy come from being able to create it. Ravi Tangri combines over three decades of facilitation and speaking, in-person and online, with leading edge technology to engage and involve participants with a full studio and key support resources.
This is far beyond a zoom meeting - Ravi's virtual events are just like being there. If you want to move your team forward and get them excited about innovative strategies to do that, contact us now.
