Knowledge sharing between individuals/teams with similar functional responsibilities is a valuable movement building practice. Since 2016, colleagues from Ashoka and Mozilla Foundation have met monthly to share insights and lessons learned from planning and implementing organizational strategies. At MozFest, this small collaborative group aims to expand the circle and learn and share from other organizations as well. How can we better understand the journey and impact of changing mindsets? From strategic goal setting using OKRs to informal impact evaluation (as examples), we'll discuss approaches we've used to help us advance our work and mission. Participants will be invited to share their own successes, challenges and effective practices. Opportunities for future collaborations with the participants will also be discussed.
1.By the end of this session, participants have an increased understanding of common challenges and sample approaches to setting goals and measuring progress towards shifting mindsets and possible approaches to address them.
2. During the session, participants share their own examples, challenges and opportunities from their work.
3. During the session, participants identify potential opportunities for collaboration with the other participants.
We will invite the participants to continue this discussion through a new informal roundtable that we’ll launch in 2021.
How will you deal with varying numbers of participants in your session?:This will be a highly participatory session. The facilitators will use pre-planned discussion questions to guide the arc of the session. The participants will share and discuss as equals. If we only have a few participants, that will provide more time and opportunity for deeper discussion. If it’s a full session, the approach will remain the same, however there will be less time to share per participant.
