EDU Retreat 2012 Winter Themes

Brainstorm

I picked up this little trick from an interview I had read with Steve Jobs who mentioned that when pondering a difficult question or challenge he spent a month or so doing nothing but thinking of questions. These questions would lead to themes that would help guide the conversation. This free-associative thinking has served me time and again and it didn’t disappoint this time. I would say this was the critical activity that helped us better understand our purpose and set the stage for defining our mission statement.
