“If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on the solution, I would spend the first 55 minutes determining the proper question to ask, for once I know the proper question, I could solve the problem in less than five minutes” ALBERT EINSTEIN

Shortly before I came to work at Stormz, I was involved in promoting innovative practices in the Renault Creative People Lab. Our goal wasn’t to make ideas flow and circulate more freely, but to empower and enable everyone, especially project managers, to navigate easily and find their way in structures as complex and multi-layered as, for instance, the Technocentre. We were, to put it bluntly, matchmakers, in charge of introducing the project leaders to THE decision-maker who’ll believe in him or THE co-worker who’ll be able to teach him the ins and outs he needs to know in order to bring his project to completion.

The Stormz Box is the all-in-one system that allows the use of Stormz anywhere.

A bit of summer read never hurt anybody, right? This is why I decided to write a series of articles on my “5’s theory”, or the five fundamental principles on how to, truly, facilitate digitally. In the first episode, we saw how to control technology. The time has come to talk about the second one: combine your tools.

The Stormz Team explores the field of Collective Intelligence and its impact on organisations through a series of interviews and discussions with experts from our community of facilitators.
Today, we have the pleasure of sitting down with Jean-Michel Gode, whom we met during an IAF meetup and who recently went through a Stormz training. His thoughts on management and change management issues truly inspired us. That's why we've decided to share it with with you.
