The Wall of Wisdom Building Experience

โ€œWho is truly wise, who can learn from all othersโ€ Ethics of the Fathers. As a first step in an organizationโ€™s process improvement, and or strategic planning initiative, this workshop evokes input from participants toward building a โ€œWall of Wisdomโ€. During the experience, the various inputs are then gathered into meaningful target groupings for further deliberations. The emphasis is on a non-judgmental collection of ideas, suggestions, and wishes that could be then combined into various subsequent action plans.
