#GuildChat for 11/01/19: How to Put New Ideas Into Action

Our next #GuildChat takes place Friday, November 1st at 11am PT / 2pm ET. This week’s chat is on How to Put New Ideas Into Action.

We all get inspired and sometimes that inspiration can move us to action. Take going to a conference like DevLearn for example where session after session could provide you a quick hit to a whole new strategy! But enthusiasm isn’t enough and well, talk is cheap so how do you take something new and actually make it work?

Join us this week as we talk about how you can put new ideas to work in your organization. What are the steps you take? Who do you include and what happens when there are hiccups along the way?

Join us this week as we talk about applying new knowledge in our workplace efforts.

Prospective questions

Q1 When you’re exposed to a bunch of new ideas at a conference or other event, what do you do to keep that energy going and put those ideas into practice when you get back to work?
Q2 What are the most valuable assets (tangible or intangible) you take from events? Why?
Q3 Do you typically get time to play with, experiment on, and pilot new ideas? If yes, what ways have you done this lately? If not, what are some ideas you’d like to get to do this with in the future?
Q4 What are some tips for convincing other people to try a specific new idea or approach?
Q5 When you’re starting out with a new-to-you approach or tech for a project, what should you do differently than usual to help it succeed?
Q6 When you implement a new approach, one that all eyes are on, how do you communicate success measures?
Q7 When a new idea or approach doesn’t work as planned, how do you cushion the blow so that leaders aren’t hesitant in the future about trying new things?
Q8 When a new idea fails to execute as desired, how do you learn and grow from it?
