Tonight the Street Working Group had a meeting and quickly came to the decision that as we're in this period of transitioning to a post-Dewey OB, what we need most is an intentional effort to build strong systems and processes for internal communication and navigation. Right now, there is understandable confusion and lack of coordination, so we have launched an "Inreach" team to help build and repair networks of communication that will allow us to address our community's issues and needs as a unified body.
Some issues that we brainstormed...
-Imbalance of workload (too much work on too few people)-Emails are excessive and overwhelming-People and groups are working on the same issues and not aware of it
-multiple WG's are overlapping-Unclear working groups and the need to consolidate-We need Announcement forums and Discussion forums-A lack of consistency in meeting times for WG's = hard to plug in
-no methods for security in communication-the need for calendar updates and calendar blasts-Its hard to find contacts for groups -Hard to get the ball rolling on any ideas
In light of these concerns the Inreach team is calling for a meeting this Saturday night 12/17 ay 8pm at ___________ (you may have to leave GA early).
We need people with ideas, people who are well-connected in OB and therefore naturally understand how communication currently works, and people with experience in organizational communication. Of course, ALL ARE WELCOME.
PLEASE BRING PROPOSALS AND PATIENCE!!!
You can do anything you want, as long as you don't wait for permission.
