Negative/Could do Better
- Would like some of the examples that string it all together. To summarise learning. Maybe there is a good one in the books.
- Always nice to have an agenda at the beginning.
- Is there anything else that is diagrammable?
- Not sure how useful the 'What is it like? What is it not like? exercise was.
- Attendees should come from a cross-section of an organisation.
- More discussion needed on value dynamic, and on suppliers. I'm not sure I'm getting it yet (I know they are different issues).
- Feel slightly overwhelmed.
- Would be good to hear about a team who are doing this... how you might see this working.
- Next steps are big risks to take - help!
- Have more questions now than answers - maybe this is an unrealistic expectation because nobody has done this before.
- Not sure of the relevance of the "What is web dev like or not like?" section. Maybe some poignant note with summaries of your points would be helpful.
- I am unsure whether the point you made about roles required in a web dev team was actually answered. So was there a point?
Good Points
- The diagram of flow was really handy, sound. That made lots of sense.
- Liked all of the activities, especially like the mind-clearing ones.
- Showed the importance of thinking outside your own values system.
- Nice selection of further reading to think about.
- Easily accessible course.
- Been thinking about a few of these things before the training - good to hear it from a professional experienced guy though.
- It's good to have a few people to get tailored adviced.
- I like the method of teaching where you encourage students to come up with the answer themselves.
- Some good practical steps sections where we learnt how to apply to our organisation.
- Great to learn about processes that we can directly take away and apply practically to our own companies.
- Definitely going to promote the idea of rewarding quick sign-off.
- I like your analogies. They help me understand the concepts and how they relate to my business.
- Chance to talk about things with other people in a similar situation.
- Value Dynamic.
- Practical things to try out, if my staff can cope :-)
- Mark's experience of working with difference web agencies.
- Great ideas, inspiring possibilities
