The meeting covered topics such as post-pandemic recovery, real-time strategy, and the importance of in-person meetings. Per & Robert emphasized the need for simple guiding principles grounded in an organization's purpose and identity. The meeting also included announcements about upcoming events and a pro bono project. Community check-in on post-pandemic recovery phase and different stages in different countries by Robert who discusses the theme of the conversation, which is the unmasking period and the importance of face-to-face problem solving for creating psychological safety and seeing each other's perspectives. The learned strategy is based on focusing on the reality today and extracting simple guiding principles, rather than a long-term vision. Simple guiding principles must be grounded in an organization's purpose and identity, and are not just quick fixes or rules for behavior. The process for developing simple guiding principles involves involving the entire team, conducting interactive analysis, imagining the future, and testing possible strategies. Per explains why the conversation is relevant now, given the hybrid work environment and the need to focus on offering value to clients rather than just using technology because it's possible. The principles of remote serious play include focusing on client value, simplicity, psychological safety, and touch; matching remote sessions with in-person sessions can also be valuable. Per also announced an upcoming global and language-specific coffee chat events, as well as a pro bono project supported by Association Of Master Trainers.
