ObiFive dances the Dreamfish
http://dreamfish.com/author/paul-loper/">Paul Loper, Peter Kaminski and I served as ambassadors for the Dreamfish network as ObiFive, a French HR consultancy for European enterprises, visited the US with WDHB Consulting as their guide. ObiFive, structured as a network of independent consultants, visited to learn about collaboration as a process for innovation. Paul Loper, a consultant in the Dreamfish network, led them in this classic Dreamfish activity, moving as a collaboration ensemble. Et Voila!
This activity served to create awareness of the embodied nature of design thinking for innovation. It also sparked a conversation about org theory and mental models of organization inherited in the last several hundrd years that are unsustainable and limit innovation. We then used this activity as a basis, from which to experience social software. Peter Kaminski, social software maven, then introduced the group to the use of a wiki, group chat and screensharing for internal collaboration and collaboration with organizational clients.
