Sorry, couldn't get it. Is this a structure for story telling? If so how would one phrase a story within the context? Any examples?
Thanks
Raj
Hello Raj,
Good to see you here! :-) I guess my post may come across as a bit cryptic if you did not follow the link to Swan's post.
Yes...apparently this is a structure that Singapore's Armed Forces use for their after action review sessions. I am assuming that they encourage people to tell it as a story rather than blindly answer these questions (which is perhaps why this was shared as a storytelling concept). But the guiding principles are as quoted in the post.
After a certain point, I think the style would become ingrained and people would probably rattle off their learnings in the format of a story but with these underlying principles as a subconscious input- it probably becomes a cultural trait. To me, the method seems ingenious!
Certainly a very good approach. More structured anyway! But at the same time a completely unstructured story sometime throws some very interesting observations too!! :-)
Liked your 2*5*1 = 10 on 10 too!
Vijeesh: Quite agree that what an unstructured and impulsive story might throw up could be very interesting as well! Maybe it's about realizing which are the specific situations wherein such a structure is essential...!
Novel idea... Thanks for sharing it, Nimmy :)
Thanks so much for the link to my post. I can't take credit for the concept, but I was certainly impressed when I heard about it.
Hope that you will join us on http://KMers.org for weekly chats about knowledge management
Swan,
Thanks to *you* for sharing it! I would love to join you for the KM Chat but I think the time zone differences may make it hard for me. I'd at least be checking out the final transcript! :-) You're doing a great job! Rock on and thanks again! :-)
