Thursday's accomplishments

Work: Washed outsides of kitchen cabinets, cleaned venetian blinds, washed and waxed hardwood kitchen floor = kitchen is "done"

Fun: Visited Steve Brown's BU299 Decision-making class to act as a resource for the Where to make the charitable donation exercise. Great to see the different ways the teams started to tackle the problem = going back next week.

Thinking: The first question Bruce Nussbaum asked yesterday (18 of 20 responses to his tweet asked it) was, "How do you start?" None of the panelists answered it. It's a question I'm thinking about too. Here's as far as I've got: First you need to have a personal experience of the design process -- this frequently happens when working with an architect on a building. Second, you need to have a group learning experience about the nitty-gritty of tools, techniques, and processes (with both designers and managers as instructors.) Third, you need a period of individual reflection, then have (shared) responsibility for a real project. = sounds just like Kolb's adult learning cycle!

Craving: This came upon me during the drive back to Fairfield -- I haven't made one in ages (check earlier posting for actual date.) So, in less than half an hour, I produced the "L" pie!
(My-T-fine lemon meringue package mix.) = Delicious!
