Cohort members,
Happy new year! We hope you all had a relaxing holiday and break. 2017 is shaping up to be an exciting year and it is all kicking off with our third face to face session on Friday January 20th at 8:30AM @ MaRS. We are in the process of cooking up another awesome day of learning, sharing and refining our action plans. To that end we have a few things we need you to do before the day.
Prior to Friday January 13th please…..
- Fill in this important Action Plan Survey: Take 5 minutes to fill in this short action plan status survey. It will give us a snapshot of where your Action Plan is at and important data that we will use to support you on the day. (5min max)
Prior to Friday January 20th please…..
- Publish your Action Plan Post – Prior to our meeting on the 20th we would like everyone to post their reflection from the 2nd face to face session and the action plan design thinking experience. Where did you start and where did you end up? Share how your thinking has shifted since then and where you have arrived (Include pics of your design thinking work if you can). If you are stuck share that too!! While we hate deadlines please post it by the end of day on January 19th. Be sure to add the “Action Plan” category and appropriate tags to your post. Refresher How-To Video HERE. ***Some of you have already done this but feel free to post an update should you have one***
- Read and comment on three cohort member blogs
