Love all these resources, @liz_mcneil ! I wanted to share some of the places I look when creating tools and questionnaires for insight gathering. I love IDEO.org’s Design Kit and their methods page. Teams I’ve worked with in the past have had good luck with the card sort and the secondary resources. You can find the link to these resources here.

I’d love to hear what resources others turn to when they’re looking to develop tools to help young people open up and really understand what they’re thinking and feeling.

Here is the book that Andy mentions in his presentation at the webinar: [The Power of Positive Deviance: How Unlikely Innovators Solve the World’s Toughest Problems (Official Book — Positive Deviance Collaborative)] by Richard Pascale, Jerry Sternin, and Monique Sternin

It provides great framing on how to solve challenges, including the use of insights!

  • "Initiating an open, curious inquiry into the nature of the problem
  • Using innovative behaviors to shape new thinking, rather than vice versa
  • Confounding the organizational “immune response” seeking to sustain the status quo"
