What Skills Are You Teaching

Safari Metaphor: Watering hole & exploration
how do you find out things about your customers to influence your product design choices
The first time you're out on safari you don't have any of the skills
You have to go out and build the community

Worksheet that is very specific to building the skills for the core elements of community build
organize your to-dos

10 blocks--a journal--fill out a little bit more, then a little bit more
Each section is a larger skill in the overarching community-building skills

Revisit the same journal 

Culture and collaboration swot analysis

Skills:
Pattern recognition: journal & themes
Clear communicator
Collaboration: an organizational system--trust, relationships, interaction and participation [might want to think about these as separate building blocks]
One of the challenges is the "pick something, accessible": first thing should be low-risk, small, and then pick something really big

Progression is like working out--low intensity high interval---high intensity, low interval (and you need to be able to throw events at each interval)

Course structure: 6-8 weeks, each week builds on each other
Consistent reunion event? Alumni network? 
Alumns come in as continuing development, TA, motivating, constantly evolving senior class

Activities: like a trainer gives variation, we can have two routines and you can switch them up

Some of these need further drilling down, but the linearness seems to mean it's possible to build into a challenge. Thoughts?
