Community Conversations Project, Bridges to the Future, Lake Forest Park, WA Rachel Lyn Rumson
A small group of professional trainers and consultants have been working to find ways to make a difference in the lives of individuals impacted by the economic situation facing many of us.
The concept is called Community Conversations Project. We have designed a two day event for the communities. This event was titled "Bridge to the Future: Communities in Transition" and was held in Lake Forest Park May 11 & 12.
Travis Green kicked off the PNODN year with a talk on Green OD. After a 30 minute mingle Travis had us engadge in a dialogue about the meaning of "Green" "Sustainable" and "OD" in the phase "We are committed to being a ______ organization". Members reported a perception shift when thinking about what they heard in those three statements. Then, we were off.
The group explored the jargon and came to an understanding that this concept of sustainable change is being defined. Some suggested it is part of the design work we do to define this with our cleints. One strategy that was illuminating was to start with what they already doing that is sustainable.
We talked about the challenges of Sponsorship and education about systems. We had questions about what tools to use and process consulting was a recommendation from Travis.
Members talked about notion of the "triple bottom line", and how the language of accounting and profit predominats the mental models that run organizations. The group talked about our role to bridge that language to sustainable concepts for our clients in ways that are meaningful to them.
What conversations are you having with your clients about sustainability.
At the end of the evening members were lively and continued the converstaion. In the evaluation of the event particpants reported the topic to be highly relevant to their work. The content contained new inforamtion for the majority. Everyone who completed the survey said they had met someone they would like to collaborate with. What would that look like?
Presented to systems design graduate students in work process design course at the University of Washington as part of curriculum to develop an understanding of environmental considerations for implementation of IT solutions.

Los muros paramétricos son una herramienta poderosa en el diseño arquitectónico que ofrece diversas ventajas, tanto en el proceso creativo como en la ejecución del proyecto.
Los atletas olímpicos de la antigüedad participaban en los juegos movidos por el afán de
gloria, pero sobre todo por las suculentas recompensas que obtendrían si ganaban..
Es una presentación desde el punto de vista histórico, escultórico y pictórico, gracias a la
cual podemos apreciar a través del tiempo como el arte ha contribuido a la historia de
los olímpicos.
