Week 6: There is something in the air

Hej,

First of all thank you for a great retreat, each and every one of you made it a very special trip :).

Just now I was browsing my notes a little bit and noticed that, written in the hieroglyphics that I call my handwriting, I have a good 40+ pages of information, feelings and questions. While doing so I started asking myself: how can we put these notes into something workable for the next generation of startup managers, nova employees, project managers or even better for us.

I took a bit of a closer and more in-depth look and noticed that many of the questions I had been asking myself during earlier sections of my notebook resonated quite strongly in the insights I had put down in later sections. In a way I felt that the questions that I have been asking myself initially have brought me to most of the insights that will eventually matter the most. I would actually argue that asking the right questions will - in a way - be an incubator of insights and thus an invaluable asset to anyone else reproducing our process.

So how can we, together, produce a workable question bank that will lead anyone to a more streamlined and workable process of inclusion? I would love you all to stop and think for a bit about what your most mind-boggling moments have been and which follow-up questions leading from those moments of insecurity had put you back on track. So: which were the questions (or research topics if you prefer) that made you discover the things that you are most proud of?

Conclusively, you might have had your ideas or hypotheses about the probable outcomes of your research. If you could add your version of an answer to your own question than we could really lead any new startup manager, nova or project leader in the same direction as we are heading.

Love,

Stefan

  1. Wow, great insight Stefan! I've never thought of it that way. Could be something that all of us could reflect on this week or before the end of the internship.
