Case Stories Workshop

Engender collaborative reflection among practitioners by a structured process of sharing stories of successful practice.

4

The plan

• Tell us a story

• This reminds me of..

• Table top concept mapping

• Identify common features

5

Tell us about...

• A specific incident

• That happened to you

• Where you confronted a challenge / problem

• And resolved it successfully

6

Be a STARR

• Situation– Describe the context in detail.

• Task– What was the problem you were

trying to solve?• Action

– What did you do to solve it?• Results

– What happened? Did you succeed? Did you adjust?

• & Reflections– What did you learn?

Tell it like it was

You don’t know

• Would have happened..

• Could have happened..

• Should have happened..

• Will Happen…

You DO know, and only YOU know

What happened

This reminds me of..

• A 2nd group member proposes a related story.

• How is this similar in terms of:

– The context

– The problem

– The actions

– The results

• And how is it different?
