Template for Web-based Interviews

Page history last edited by mfrazier@openworld.com 10 years, 8 months ago

 

A Question & Answer Resource for Social Networks

To Share Insights and Opportunities for CoCreation

 

 

 

 

 

As an aid to sharing project ideas in social networks, it may be useful to have a standard Q&A template through which specialists can fill in their respective insights on problems, opportunities, and strategies relating to their initiatives.

 

The questions below aim to generate narratives in a domain-independent "fractal" pattern that can speed learning and discovery of opportunities for co-creation. Key questions are noted in boldface. (To speed interactions, a Q&A web page might have a slider-style button that would give users the choice of seeing only the boldfaced questions.)

 

 

 

 

GENERIC QUESTIONS

 

  • Metadata

 

What is your name?

 

How would you describe yourself?

Mark, some thoughts.

To ask someone to give this level information is a significant barrier to entry. I doubt that I would take the time to clarify my own thinking enough to be shareable. 2me it's a bit like an application to college. "How would you describe yourself?" (2me) is the essence of the deep problem. The answer is always the same : "It depends who is asking."

As I understand it this "document" lives in the flow we are trying to create as follows: It wants to make public a persona's context to make it easier to understand the words that are emitted from that persona. In the service of that function it has to be easy and supply the minimum data points to take the friction out of that function.

Perhaps the following is a path forward. I'll put in my responses to try to make it more concrete.

What's your day job?
None. Comfortable enough retired

In the context of this junto, What do want to see happen? What is the urgency (time frame, deadline) of when it wants to happen?
"I want to see the prison population in the States reduced as fast as possible. My focus at the moment is on bottom of the pyramid high school education."

What do you want to understand?
"How people think. Why good smart people do stupid things."

Where have you been?
Born, Munich Germany 1946. Came to US in 1948. My people are East European Jews. Lived on the lower East Side, the Bronx, grew up in Queens. Graduated Columbia 1967. A year in Madison Wisconsin studying demography. Started a printing business in 1972. Taught at Parsons from 2000 -2008. Retired and living in New York.

What are you in a position to give?
Lots of on line time. A little money from time to time.

What are you in a position not to give? Significant face time.

One way to test this out is to see if this you gives a pretty clear idea of "where my persona is coming from " in the sense of being able to get maximum clarity from our ensuing conversation. (2me) it works.

Michael,

Completely agree about the length and detail of the Q&A being a _big_ barrier. Yet it has value, I think, in the context of an accordion-like slider button that is sensitive to the user's time.

If they only have a minute or two to spare, the slider button goes all the way to the left, and only a dozen (at most) "mountain-top" questions (similar to the ones you indicated) would appear. If they want to come back later and and have more interest or time to add further details, the slider lets them see it in fuller form.

Another value of having a detailed Q&A like this, I think, is that it could be extended in a way that lets others in a socnet or tribe to pitch in with new material. The draft framework above hews to the narrative fractal structure mentioned in earlier EBD convos.

So if a given expert/interviewee only has time to share top-level insights, that's fine - others in the tribe can put in 0.02 Rushkoffs with their ideas on how to fill in/co-create the missing pieces. Issues arising over the proposed additions can then be a source for TwitterTennis or Juntos.

What do you think?

Best,

Mark

Mark,

I think I don't have a precise idea of the purpose of the document. Maybe you could sketch out the use case to help me understand. What I'm seeing is to give a framework for a useful convo in the service of either clarifying some ideas or getting something done. I'm pretty sure I must be missing something. But I'm not sure what it is.

Michael,

An accordion-like, time-sensitive interview offers a new way - I hope – for good ideas to move more quickly to realization.

Many insights in offline and online conversations create a buzz. Few get traction. This occurs in part because of shifting attention in a torrent of cool, loosely connected ideas.

And in other cases, where a good idea does get traction, lots of time and effort when originator(s) of the idea are inundated in efforts interact with legions of new folks who want to get up to speed and contribute meaningfully.

The accordion Q&A is an approach to start easing this problem. It aims to make it much simpler for originators of cool ideas to sketch them out in a structured way. And once the idea creator has done such a preliminary sketch, the inflow of prospective helpers has a new way, on their own time rather than the originator’s, to get up to speed.

Let's say you want to more rapidly seed actual EDU reforms, Venessa a rollout for Junto, and Spiro a way to model the influence of reputation capital in the flocking patterns of socnets.

Once you've decided to move from discussion to action, a web-based, self-paced Interview template might help for a (relatively) painless structured knowledge dump.

Only have a few minutes? No problem – a time-sensitive, web-based interview only would ask the "mountaintop" questions. You can always come back later if you want to fill in/share more details on the attractor, challenge, opportunity, strategy, acceptance tests, and next steps in the narrative fractal format.

Creating such a resource provides a way for you, as the originator of an idea, to point new, aspiring contributors to an online resource, where most of their (non value-creating) questions can be answered.

This can lead (I think) to huge time savings because of fewer needless diversions of the originator's attention.

Yet there’s a more fundamental value in having a time-sensitive, structured online interviewer. It comes when you want to spot and fill holes in an actionable idea.

A structured Q&A session can help an idea originator more easily identify gaps that may keep the concept from moving to realization. In many cases, the originator will want to do fill these gaps on their own.

In other cases, however, the originator may want to engage the talents of the socnet, for specialized expewrtize or an ability to more rapidly generate the elements needed.

When placed in a narrative fractal structure, such invitations for co-creation may be easier to put in an understandable (to others) context.

For example, say you want to follow through on a venture to help at-risk kids in a Rhode Island high school create book-publishing ventures. In going through the (detailed) interview, you might hit a question asking for success precedents for the idea. You flag a key gap to be filled – mini-case studies on similar initiatives that you can show to local allies.

You then might want to put out a call for others to help - perhaps seeking volunteers from an online community such as the EBD wiki or Educause, or posting it on Elance as a freelance research gig.

If you do want to tap the online talent pool, people there will benefit if there’s a URL where they can see the structured ideas you shared in an online interview.

As a result, I’ll wager 2 Rushkoffs that you'll get be distracted by many fewer time-wasting questions from aspiring allies, and that you’ll find higher quality contributions from the individuals you do choose to engage.

Best,

Mark

Makes sense, but I have to wonder if it's the best way to do it for me. I have only recently recently moved into a retired activity state. The operant characteristic is that I don't have to stress about a good enough sustainable revenue stream going forward. I'm also blessed with a family for whom at this moment the serious life problems - school - kids - earning a living - health - are in the background.

If I read it correctly the core problem is " getting distracted " This becomes a stress when one is on a mission. A day job is a mission with quarterly, weekly and daily delivery points. One approach is to try to mitigate this stress with tools to manage the conversation, do some kind of "automatic filtering" to make visible data points that would otherwise be missed in the rush of events.

Another possible approach is to somehow model serendipity. My take is that the most generative innovative connections happen in the context of serendipity. It's why I think Linked In doesn't engender new connections. The defining characteristic of Linked In is that you join cause you are on a "mission" to find other useful (2U) people. But new symbolic patterns are precisely from people who are not initially seen as useful(2u).

My sense is that a more productive approach might be to engage a new audience. What I'm thinking of are boomers. The critical property of boomers is that an increasing number are at the end of their careers. They have the time. It's an experience that I had once before when in college. You would probably not be surprised that I found a mission, but that's a different story.

Consider if we would have made a connection through the system you are thinking of. My sense is not. To me the most promising direction is to design a framework that scales what we've both seen happen. From what I understand so far, my bet is that it needs a different approach.

Michael J said

at 6:33 am on Apr 13, 2010

I think it's fair to say that you see some of what I see with regards to using publishing as an approach to intervene in BoP education. My take is that it is happening whether I add to it or not. It's a much longer story, but 2me the business requirements of the global and local printing companies will get it on their radar sooner or later. With every new technology introduced and as the economy continues to play out as local stresses in physical places, my bet is that something is going to give.

After thirty plus years in the printing world, I have not a terrible sense of what those pressures are, where they're coming from and the mindsets of the players both at the global and local levels. After seven years in the "academy" I think I have a pretty good picture of the stresses in higher ed and a conversational knowledge of the stresses in high schools.

My mindset now is I no longer have a mission. If I can help make it better faster, great. If I can't, someone else will. The going forward opportunity is that I believe there is a large cohort right behind me that will have a similar attitude.

Michael,

>> Consider if we would have made a connection through the [Q&A} system you are thinking of. My sense is not... From what I understand so far, my bet is that it needs a different approach.

I'm with you completely on the first two sentences. The spontaneous back and forth and serendipity generated by conversations and communities (Venessa's blog being a world-class example of this) is where the connection starts. My hope is that when people want to move ideas from conversation into action, there will be ways to get interested parties more easily up to speed. Otherwise, there's a big risk that the calls upon concept initiators will bring their pace down to a trot or a walk.

Best,

Mark

Have you considered an invitation to Basecamp? I've used it many times. It's awesome for project management. So the path might be engage -> "you really want to do something, then I'll set up a basecamp and we'll do it. If not let's keep talking. No harm done.

Wadda ya think?

mfrazier@openworld.com said

at 11:01 am on Apr 14, 2010

Yes, great idea for Basecamp in the implementation stage. My abiding concern is that prospective participants in implementation first get oriented well, through a knowledge dump by the concept initiators and/or related specialists. Then, they could have a way to get more out of bouts of TwitterTennis, Junto, and (in implementation stage) Basecamp. Y/N?

Michael J said

at 1:07 pm on Apr 14, 2010

Not sure. I'm not sure a knowledge dump works. In the context of the convo over at the blog with Spiros, a knowledge dump is almost by def a series of I(2expert) . It's a bit like I(2teacher) in the edu space. Much mo betta 2(me) is enuff unambiguous data points so that string construction and pattern creation can be more easily done by others.

Especially in the service of innovation, the real moment occurs when an I(2u) is plucked from your string. Put together with a couple of ((2me) from my string to create a string that niether one of use could have done separately.

Maybe?

Michael J said

at 1:09 pm on Apr 14, 2010

Take for example where our convo is going in gamv changers for edu. You put on the table four different ID(2u). I choose one or two. Share various attributes of my convos and weak links and interest. Then we can say "what's next." To me very, very nice.

mfrazier@openworld.com said

at 3:57 pm on Apr 14, 2010

Agree - small group conversations are great at mapping points of resonance.

The challenge I see, however, is for the concept initiators to move (some of) their ideas into action.

To do this, a template along the lines of challenge->opportunity->strategy->acceptance test->next step may help to turn a "messy", mulithreaded conversation into a more coherent proposed project form. With this, others can more quickly get up to speed and focus on useful parts to challenge/improve.

The result may be more evolutionarily-fit initiatives than would otherwise arise from free-form convos.

If you're game, shall we give it a try -- and see what happens?

Best,

Mark

Spiro Spiliadis said

at 12:19 pm on Apr 18, 2010

Some thoughts came to mind, may seem radical because of the suggested site i'm about to mention but it's relation to the idea that an orchestrated and strategic set of questions can contribute to aligning people so that something like Junto can seek it's advantages.

The idea of e-harmony is that through a set of questions, they can give you a conclusive list of potentials.
The idea to contribute is to "find" a match.
The match is a suggestion, but the intent is the driving force behind it.
The person who at the moment decides to take the "questionnaire" is going to react to a series of "moments" that are going to be mostly reactive subconscious answers based on past, present and future.

The space between impulse and reaction is the conscious space that observes this.

By taking e-harmony's methodology structure and "emotional behavior" we are playing with a set of variables, in essence we are capturing the "attractor" part of the process, however we also know the suggestions are only the "potential" shown towards the intent to build deep meaningful relationships.

In e-harmony it's personal, but professionally it serves it's value, that when we can measure to some proximity this matchmaking we then give intent to it's combination, through improvised conversation the tension may not be as strong because there is the notion you've been matched with someone that may share a common interest.

This can then go into Junto where it can be measured and referenced.

What can we learn from e-harmony, from software, to creating an emotional intent to "want' to find people that may have something to offer. but in relation to ideas.

Interesting. So if the purpose is to encourage conversation that serves real life action..maybe an eye to productive teams may be useful. My experience tells me that a successful team needs at minimum three Actors (one person per actor is usually enuff, but Actor allows for more.) In Gladwell's language it's a maven, a connector and a salesman. Also can be described as a domain expert, a communication designer (web,print,vid etc.) , a project manager and most important someone who owns the problem as part of their day job.

Maybe instead of "optimizing e Harmony" for a mono gamous 1 to 1 relationship. We look at optimizing for a productive team.
I bet if folks with problems on the ground had a place to fill out a project description, with a deadline, there might be lots of folks who would do it in the spirit of Open Source.

So maybe it's Open Source solutions for Real Life problems.

This is starting to sound a bit like an online technology incubator of sorts. Could morph into an online Y-combinator or Tech Stars... I like it. Next phase of the web is about coordinating work and solving problems (creating real value). This could be it. Open source organization or project-building platform, not unlike what Friedman was discussing today: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/18/opinion/18friedman.html?hp

Michael J said

at 3:11 pm on Apr 18, 2010

Leonard,

Thanks for the Freidman article. My takeaway is that the hardest part is to identify the problem. Everything else I bet the folks already entangled in EBD wiki and blog + their networks can do. My $.02 is to maniacal focus on finding people on the ground who own the problem AND are honestly incented to get it solved. From what I think I see, in a funny way crafting solutions is pretty easy compared to finding just the right problems to solve.

Leonard Kish said

at 5:13 pm on Apr 18, 2010

I tend to agree, but it depends on the problem. Some problems are going to require quite of bit of work, tria & error, so, as you say, the incentives need to be enough to keep everyone committed and engaged over the long haul to see things through.

The other issue is getting the solution, once created, out to people that need it, at the time they need it, in a form in which they can use it: a sort of network propagation (previously referred to as marketing). Oftentimes solutions or new tools can require a significant amount of education and messaging. That said, disruptive (simple, inexpensive, convenient) innovations tend to propagate on their own.

Anyway, there are several steps to getting a problem solved for the world at large:

Problem identification.
Solution ideation.
Selection of ideas.
Prototyping.
Feedback on prototypes.
Construction of narrative or plan for the solution's fit to the problem for the world at large, including sustainability model (sometimes known as business model).
Gather resources required to build and disseminate.
Build.
Disseminate.
Feedback on product/features.
Feedback on business model.
Measure, refine, etc. (Branch, prune, repeat.)

The feedback at each step is the real value that's being added here.


Michael J said

at 5:27 pm on Apr 18, 2010

All good points. But my experience at the Bottom of the Pyramid or in non formal enterprise settings is that all the steps you describe are present, but tend to happen at the same times. The model is more define - design - deploy and iterate as fast as possible. I've seen it work with student and non profit projects. Also seen it work in building a user interface for a startup that made it to be being purchased by a global.

It points to the critical importance of the person on the ground who defines the problem. The feedback is immediate and is in the form of "this will work(2me)." Low cost, fast iterations can do amazing things. I take as one of the best data points the speed and ease of EBD and the emergence of junto in under a month once energized by Venessa blog post.

To be clear the ground work has been put in place, by Vennesa and the other co creators for at least the 10,000 hours that Gladwell describes. I think the convo at this wiki in "Game Changers for Edu" might have a similar path. @FrancisOtolo in Lagos Nigeria owns the problem. He is engaged as a co creator of the project. My bet is that we could get some good enuff in place in an amazingly short time, if and only it, the spark catches.

I have to say that I've been totally blown away by watching this all happen. But I have to believe that if we look very closely at what has happened, we'll be able to understand the principles to get it replicate and thus possibly scale.
