Week 12 – Preparing the team for the Scale-up Workshop
Week 12
Preparing the Team for the Scale-up Workshop
Schedule a 90 minute meeting with the team in Week 12 to help them prepare for the Scale-up Workshop. Several leaders will be in attendance at the Workshop, and the team will use the Scale-up Workshop to help them make decisions and commitments that will help amplify the work of the team.
Below is guidance on the preparatory work the team will need to do, for each of the agenda items of the Scale-up Workshop.
To be ready for this meeting, please go over the Learning Deep Dive: Overview of the Scale-up Workshop
Your Tasks This Week
Share and Celebrate
Work with the team to prepare a “Show & Tell” presentation. The team can present in whatever format they choose. The team should start with their 100-Day Goal, and the progress they made towards it. Then they can find creative ways to share “their story”:
- Other achievements they are proud of
- Problems they encountered, and how these were solved (or not)
- Other innovations the team tried, and what they learned from these
- How the 100-Day journey affected them personally.
Past teams used videos, quiz shows, poems, bedtime stories, and plays to tell their story. Show some of these to the team, and encourage them to go wild.
Complete the Project
If the team feels that it will need an additional week or two to complete its project, please work with the team to develop an extension plan to complete the project. You can use the format below to prepare the plan. If the team completed the project by the end of the 100 days, then this agenda item can be removed from the Scale-up Workshop.
Sustain the Gains
Brainstorm with the team about steps leaders can adopt to sustain the gains. These will be presented by the team to the Leaders at the Scale-up Workshop.
Here are some thoughts on some of the steps that could help sustain the gains made in each type of focus area of GBVF Maturity 30-Day Challenges.
Map the Way Forward
The purpose of this discussion with the team is to provide some advice to leaders on the focus for the next 100-Day Challenge. The team prepares to present these recommendations and the thinking behind them to the leaders at the Scale-up Workshop.
Reflect and Close-Out
No advance preparation with the team is needed for this agenda item.
