The Collective Power Playbook

The Process

for building this Playbook

The main focus of building the playbook is not about the content, it is about strengthening the collective’s facilitation skills. The content is just a tool for discovery and a platform for people to come together and strengthen their skills through social learning. The driving force is the connection around the content.

The Elements

  • The Collective Power Playbook network of facilitators/convenors  
  • The discussion list – this is an email list where we ask people for their asynchronous feedback on the playbook
  • The contributor sessions – these are live online sessions where the network comes together to get updates, trial content and feedback.
  • Google docs – this is an online tool where people can collaborate on a live document
  • The CollectivePower.net website

The Process

The process we go through to contribute to this  playbook is:

  1. Create a draft play using the template and submit it to Dirk & Jesse.
  2. We’ll schedule trials at a Contributors Session (or two)
    • Get Feedback from contributors
  3. We’ll then share on the Discussion List to engage the network and ask for feedback. 
  4. Iterate 
  5. Publish 
  6. and Add Credit
    • Credit will be given to everyone involved in giving feedback and getting the exercise published

This playbook will always be a work in progress. There will always be more plays that could be included, and there will always be iterations to the current content. This process will continue.
