Constance
2:35pm - Read the case out loud (pages 1-3) each
person reads a paragraph in a circle
2:45pm Allow a few clarifying questions, if
necessary about the case. Form two groups to meet and discuss the
facts in the case. Give the
groups their assignment (Practice Decision Case). Send them off to work.
3:45pm Start to round-up the groups and bring
them back.
4:00pm Allow further clarifying questions about
the decision. Groups may interview John
but should not yet state their own opinion about the decision. Constance facilitates masterfully this
session.
4:30pm - Ask each group to meet again determine if there
is a consensus among group members regarding what John should do. If a consensus cant be formed, take a vote
and record the tally. They MUST make a
decision. No decision - is
a decision.
5:00pm - Report back to the entire class on the
results. Is there class consensus?
5:45pm Break for dinner.
7:00pm John & Constance co-facilitate - Meet
to reflect on the Decision Case as a learning tool. Distribute the Teaching Note.
Did the decision case serve the learning objectives (see Teaching Note)? During this discussion, consider how the
Holisticgoal and answers to the Holistic Management Testing Questions
influenced the decision. What additional information might have been useful to
the decision case package? Discuss the
use of decision cases as a teaching tool for Holistic Management. Did the case meet the suggested guidelines
for a good case? That is a good
case
