Moonshot Thinking at ASU

Presenters: Michelle Govani and Monro Obenauer
8:30 to 9:30 a.m., Zoom

As the No. 1 university in innovation---eight years in a row---ASU is place where it’s an almost daily occurrence to be challenged to “think big,” “be disruptive,” and “go for scale.” But for all this talk and expectation, rarely do we have the opportunity for professional development focused on building our “innovation skillsets.”

The ASU Foundation’s Moonshot Accelerator team specializes in coaching ASU teams who are generating and advancing big ideas for philanthropic funding. In this session, join the team to get a breakdown of helpful “Moonshot Thinking” tips and tricks, including how to craft a compelling vision, how to plan for scale, and what it means to truly pursue transformative impact.

Defining Success: Evaluating Project (and Personal) Success from a Reflective, Equity Stance

Presenters: Heather Fauland and Phil Weaver-Stoesz
8:30 to 9:30 a.m., Zoom

In higher education, we’re often faced with the call to quantify the impact(s) of our work. Considering data-driven decision making from an equity stance can create interesting conversations about power, agency and representation: Who defines success? Are competing agendas or ideas influencing your approach to a problem, or even its outcome? In this session, we’ll cover some simple strategies for approaching evaluation for projects or personal goals, and also discuss how to incorporate a reflexive, equity stance in your own work.

Social Capital in the Flexible Workplace: Challenges and Opportunities

Presenter: Seth Rachlin
8:30 to 9:30 a.m., Zoom

Flexible work and working from home are, by most accounts, here to stay. There is much to be happy about. Reduced commuting time and expense. The ability to better meet family responsibilities. A more fulfilling work-life balance. But recent research indicates that these benefits come with costs. The collaborative networks of remote workers are static and siloed. The absence of a shared physical space impedes the development of the “weak ties” so critical toward the sharing of information and opportunity in the workplace. And, in one study, junior remote workers received less feedback and coaching from their senior colleagues than those in the office did. In short, remote workers run the risk of not developing the social capital required to be truly engaged, informed, and ultimately successful. This session will address the social capital challenge in remote and hybrid workplaces and provide concrete steps participants can take to overcome them while still enjoying the benefits of flexible work.

8:30 to 9:30 a.m., Zoom

The NSF-funded CyberAmbassador program offers training in communication, teamwork and leadership skills and it has benefited nearly 10,000 professionals across the nation. Assigning individuals to work in a group does not automatically create a well-functioning team. This “Teaming Up” session from the CyberAmbassador program focuses on understanding the conditions necessary for groups to develop into effective teams and offers participants practical tools for encouraging team growth.

And if we are fortunate, there are photos related to these recipes—e.g., a photo of the food item itself, a photo of the family sharing the meal, a photo of our grandparents’ old wood-burning kitchen stove, or a photo of a family member preparing the dish, or a photo of a grandparent.

Watts Way to Inclusion and Belonging

Presenters: Chandra Crudup and Joanna Lucio

This workshop will focus on developing a system of social support and belonging as part of a College structure. As part of Watts College’s goal of becoming an anti-racist and anti-oppressive college, we strive to create a sense of belonging with our employees. Watts College’s Committee on Diversity and Inclusion worked with our office of Inclusive Design for Equity and Access and college leadership to understand where Watts could improve, grow, and learn from current and past practices. One of the prominent themes we found was that employees felt disconnected from the college. Part of this was related to the COVID-19 pandemic, but there was also evidence of a more systemic concern related to power differentials and organization. Watts College has implemented a variety of initiatives, such as lunches with leadership, Lunch and Learn Series, and DEIB listening sessions to help bring employees across classifications together and to connect employees with leadership for a more regular feedback mechanism. A number of other initiatives have been started to provide professional development and community building opportunities for employees, across ranks and college units.

Using Trello to Increase Productivity and Build Collaborative Teams: A Case Study of Success from the Sanford School

Presenters: Barbara Black-Kurdziolek and Emily Powell
2:45 to 3:45 p.m., Zoom

As our team has grown in the last few months as new members have joined, we have had the opportunity to implement new processes and procedures. These new processes have aided in both training and collaboration, have allowed us to be proactive rather than reactive as new tasks and deadlines approach and have encouraged transparency and team problem solving. The primary tool our team has been using is Trello. We have created boards or cards for each project, and are able to add in specific dates, notes, resources and to-do checklists for each. In doing so, at any point, any member of our team would be able to see the status of the project, who has been assigned to complete certain parts, and be able to check in if there are any issues that arise. This has been helpful in both one-off tasks and tasks that occur each term. Previous cards and boards can be made into templates, which helps promote consistency and organization. Our team has thoroughly enjoyed using this as a tool and we are excited to share our success with others.
