Chances are, you’re sometimes, or often, in some of these shared situations:
• Living places like a home, apartment building, neighborhood, street block.
• Collaborative projects in businesses, homes, organizations, communities and with friends.
• Shared resource situations such as a kitchen, meeting space, common area, breakroom, lobby, workshop, set of tools, studio, pool, park, garden.
• Events like meetings, parties, gatherings.
How often do such shared situations seem alive, effective, and enjoyable?
Transform Your Shared Situations by Combining a Proximity-Oriented Approach with Connected Collaboration …
How well we deal with shared situations often depends on our approaches, our technologies, and more importantly, how we combine approaches and technologies.
Our connected world presents opportunities, when combined with approaches made for a connected world, to transform shared situations.
The Shared Situation Guide combines a proximity-oriented approach made for a connected world called the ProxThink Growth Model, with the connected technology of a mobile document collaboration app like Google Docs or Quip. This combination helps your shared situations come alive and feel like living things.
The Shared Situation Guide is a set of related starter documents and instructions within a document collaboration app that you and your group customize, adapt, and collaborate with related to your shared situation. The starter documents and instructions are based on and use the ProxThink Growth Model, which is what converts a document collaboration app into a guide and mobile tool for collaborating on shared situations.
For a taste of the ProxThink Growth Model, below is a one-minute video overview (fullscreen horizontal recommended) from an online course about the ProxThink framework. Optional: After the video, you can read more about the growth model here.
The Shared Situation Guide can enable groups to deal with shared situations more effectively, sustainably, enjoyably. You can also join others using the guide in your neighborhood, city, and other communities.
The Shared Situation Guide may assist many groups of small to medium size with a shared situation, from groups of friends, families, or associates within businesses and organizations, to neighborhoods and small communities. See the Shared Situation Guide page to access the guide, and for some qualities of shared situations that often occur, and when they do, the guide becomes especially useful.
As a huge bonus, you can use the ProxThink Growth Model approach outside of the Shared Situation Guide too, meaning that while learning about and using the guide, you’ll pick up ways of thinking and relating that should often make a difference in conversations and casual collaborations which don’t use the more formal processes and technology of the Shared Situation Guide.
