ParCom12_How+to+keep+the+momentum+of+this+team+working+together?

=Partnership and Communication annual meeting 2012 = On 24-26 January, ILRI's P&C department held a meeting in Addis Ababa to review the highlights of 2011 and align plans and ideas around strategic priorities for 2012 and beyond. (go back to ParCom12 home page )

Ideas:
 * Need to focus on making the whole bigger than the sum of the parts for comms officeres
 * We've seen the poewr of this group working together
 * How to facilitate this power? Momentum?
 * Mechanisms to ensure we keep the momentum going?
 * Face to face 1x a week for afternoon (with Skype for Addis + Andrew)
 * Meeting convener? Perhaps not, it's not about creating an agenda but a shared space
 * Work with your comms peers?
 * As directors understand the bigger targets they will also understand the need for comms teamwork
 * Create a facility/space to be more efficient
 * We can use this space to integrate our stories into one BIG story
 * We always have staff needing this
 * Opportunity to invite scientists to come and give us their stories: ideas for stories
 * Have to ensure that virtual comms work weell
 * Make this a meeting place for all
 * Coffee great
 * Fun - Focus (Peer assisted practical problem solving that generates ideas) - Feedback (gives energy and is good for a learning organisation)
