I Am Change & A Sense of Urgency Discussion
Change is a process that one must engage in individually and corporately. Without a true sense of urgency, any change effort is doomed. View the following videos and the post The Head Won’t Go Where the Heart Hasn’t been – https://www.harapnuik.org/?p=5461 and to consider the best way to craft your message.
The Power of Words
The Behavioral ScienceGuys
Instructions
Participate in a class discussion in which you begin by addressing the following issues/questions:
In the Power of Words video consider how the facts detached from our hearts had little impact – why do we all too often focus on the facts?
Consider how few words can make a difference? How will this influence your video creation?
The BSGuys argue that when you are trying to influence people who need motivation not information, adding more information doesn’t help. What does your audience really need? Chances are it isn’t information.
What will you be targeting, your audiences heads or hearts, or both?
If you want to motivate people to action how should structure your video message?
How can videos or other media help create a sense of urgency?
Please remember the list of questions are for your benefit and are intended to help you focus your thinking. We are not asking nor expect you to answer each question in your discussion–rather you should use these questions to help focus on how the insights gained through this discussion will help you to add another component to your innovation plan.
This discussion will be assessed as part of your participation grade.
