"Per-slide" feedback

• On ‘impossible’ intro slide: ‘long’ and abstract slides like this would probably work better standing up/on a stage, but the examples you gave otherwise seemed like they could have done with some ‘slide support’.
• You started with this question but it wasn’t clear to me how it related to the objective of the session.
• Two angles:
  • Generative AI
  • Trust
• …but angles for what? Five minutes in I had forgotten :) I think it was about effective change? But it could have gotten a slide to reinforce/make it clear at the beginning.
  • this slide also seemed very small/bare after the previous one
• [[joy line]] angle
  • the ‘lesser car’ looked fine to me — maybe you need a worse example? :D
• [[rethink constraints]] slide came later and cleared up the question I had above — I think you probably want another version of this slide early on

(~fifteen minute mark)

• [[traffic calming]]
• [[generative ai]] moving the [[impossible line]]
• framework — [[4s]]:
  • [[see shift shape set]]
  • [[see]]
    • slides on what ‘see’ means seem like they maybe aren’t as needed and you could go straight to your quote.
    • [[constraints]]
      • nice examples for organizational vs personal
      • the odd benefits of being an outcast — interesting facts about [[quakers]]
    • on flipping away from [[systems designed from mistrust]]
    • [[John Taylor Gatto]] on the [[Hidden Curriculum of Schooling]]:
      • Stay in the class where you belong
      • Turn on and off when I tell you to
      • Surrender your will to a predestined chain of command
      • Only I determine what curriculum you will study
      • Your self-respect should depend on an observer’s measure of your worth
      • You are being watched
      • -> this was great but I felt that you maybe shifted away from this slide without fully driving the point across.
    • Your mission tomorrow
      • Enumerate your constraints
      • Examine your assumptions
      • Look for imbalances
      • How ought things be?
  • [[shift]]
    • Liked its description as ‘hard fun’
    • (…)
  • [[shape]]
    • ‘your offer’ — is there a better word than offer for a generic audience that is not necessarily in a for-profit/in the market? unsure
  • [[design from trust]]
    • assumes good intent — without being naïve
    • designs systems around the good actors
    • nice — but how does it fit within the framework? it seems to be a pattern or a lens through which to inform shift/shape?
  • [[aikido]] -> [[upkido]]
    • integrative, positive approach to life; uplift, upward spiral
    • mindfulness practice
  • [[set]]
    • a course, in motion, expectations
    • cool example from polynesian navigators
  • [[recap]]
    • some of the suggestions seemed like they could belong earlier in a 4s section — for example ‘invite a contrarian to coffee’ could be in ‘shift’?
    • taboos could be mentioned earlier in particular, and linked to the kodak example/the blindspots of an established enterprise.
    • design from trust and upkido could be more detailed and maybe intertwined throught he presentation

Other feedback

• I missed a slide on who you are / why you are here — and ideally on how this relates to the framework you’ll be presenting.
• Generative AI seemed not core to the presentation, you could drop it and make room for one more top level concept to mention early on?
• [[Upkido]] made me wonder what it was, nice name :)
• Consider having a map somewhere towards the beginning or as a recurring term — this would match your way of thinking incidentally, and also show the audience which things you’re mentioning en passant
