RE-DESIGN RESULTS

On October 16 (Morpheus #45) I wrote about an experiment in possibly redesigning the ACMC format. We then ran the experiment in Guangzhou China October 28 through November 4. We ran 7 drills on Day 2 for acknowledgment, clarity questions, validation, listening while asking the well-formed outcome questions, etc. Then in the next days we used the time which we used to use for the “Drills for Skills” project to run more drills — getting the subject, refining questions, framing, meta-questions drills, etc.

Several things happened as a result of this change. One change concerned the role for the Assist Team. As a group of experienced Meta-Coaches they actually had to take a more active role in both leading and coaching the group. They spent much more time with their team and were more involved with them. It shifted them from focusing on getting the group to work together and coordinate their talents and skills (which occurred when we give the team a project), to being more and more a learning team. It also required the Assist Team to be more skilled at coaching these foundational skills.
