Dialogue interviews: provide you with insights into questions and challenges that the interviewees face, may help you to find partners for a project, prepare participants for to an upcoming event, begin to build a generative field for the initiative you want to co-create. co-initiating

Shadowing

Shadowing means to accompany a person for a period of time for example 1/2 day to observe him/her during work, and learn from this observation.

Shadowing allows the person who shadows someone to: observe and learn from an experienced practitioner/leader, step into someone else’s daily work experience, and connect to someone who is facing similar challenges. co-sensing

Together with other users of the system, participants will undertake small journeys to different places in that system. These Learning Journeys allow participants to: move into unfamiliar environments, immerse themselves in different contexts, and step into relevant experiences. co-sensing

U Journaling Practice:
A Journey through Your Field of the Future

This practice uses guided journaling to lead participants through a self-reflective process along the different phases of the U. This practice allows participants: [ A ] to move through the different phases of the U-Process [ B ] access deeper levels of self- knowledge, and to connect this knowledge to concrete action steps. presencing

Case Clinics

Case Clinics guide a team or a group of peers through a process in which a case giver presents a case, and a group of 3-4 peers or team members move into a helper or consultant role based on the principles of the U-Process and process consultation. Case Clinics allow participants to: generate ways of framing the issue and develop new approaches for responding to it. co-creating

Prototyping

After a group moves through the sensing and presencing stage of the U-Process, the U continues by crystallizing ideas and then prototyping them. Prototyping means to create a landing strip for the future you want to create, and to build something that allows you to explore an emerging idea or concept by doing something. Prototypes are an early draft of what the final result might look like. Prototyping often goes through several iterations based on the feedback that you generate from other stakeholders. co-creating
