Design Playbook (Tools & Practices)

 

Knowledge Harvesting: After activities, capture “What did we learn?” before moving on.

Learning Walls: Create visible walls of insights during workshops to make knowledge collective.

Cross-Pollination Sessions: Invite experts from different fields to share perspectives.

Peer Teaching: Participants teach each other concepts, reinforcing and expanding knowledge.

Wisdom Capture: Document not only what worked, but why it worked.

 

Mindset (Reflection & Journaling)

 

Am I treating knowledge as fixed, or as something that keeps evolving?

Whose knowledge do I privilege in my decisions — and whose might I be overlooking?

What recent mistake or success still holds unharvested learning?

 

Provocation:

“Knowledge is not power until it is shared, reflected on, and applied.”

 

Facilitation Principle

 

As a facilitator, your role is to turn experience into learning and learning into shared knowledge. Draw insights out of participants, help them connect dots, and make the invisible visible. Create rituals where knowledge is not only generated but also reflected back to the group as a resource for future work.

 

Facilitator’s Mantra: “Every voice carries knowledge worth harvesting.”
