Data to Disrupt Group Meetings Protocol & Process
Protocol:
Role #1: Problem of Practice (POP) Leads:
1 WEEK before the scheduled D2D meeting: POP Leads write a version of their Problem of Practice and shares it with their Data to Disrupt Group through group email. The PoP should reflect the following:
- 1-2 paragraphs, that describes the challenge or dilemma you are facing. Consider sharing why it is a dilemma for you, why it matters, what you have already done to remedy or manage it, and the results of those attempts.
- In addition to describing your dilemma, be sure to provide a focus question that gets at the heart of the matter and helps focus your D2D’s feedback.
1 DAY before the D2D meeting: POP Leads answer all the clarifying questions that were posed by the D2D members (see below).
- Occasionally, clarifying questions may lead a presenter to reframe the focus question: that’s fine.
After the D2D meeting: POP Leads share the action steps they plan to take with the group via email.
Role #2 Data to Disrupt Group Members:
At least 2 DAYS before the scheduled D2D meeting: Each D2D Member should read the two Problems of Practice to be presented and ask any clarifying questions via email using Reply-All.
- Clarifying questions ask about the “nuts and bolts” of the situation; they primarily help others to understand the context of the challenge. They are usually straight-forward and easy to answer.
- Clarifying questions are intended to help the asker, not the presenter.
The Facilitator:
The week prior to the scheduled D2D meeting: The Facilitator of the upcoming D2D meeting ensures that the Problems of Practice are shared and clarifying questions are asked and answered on-time (see above).
During the meeting: The Facilitator uses the powerpoint template (found below) and the D2D Problem of Practice Protocol (found in powerpoint template or provided below) to guide the group through the discussion.
