Purpose and Values: Additional Notes

These were additional notes on the “Purpose” design element, submitted by one of the members of that group:

Why would we create a community?

• Facebook/LinkedIn – not just this
• Share stories/practices
• Promote and advance AI interest
• Connect people of same interest
• Objective: AI recognised as a strong ‘brand’ – fantastic approach – want everyone to become familiar with it.
• Showcasing AI
• Positioning
• Credibility
• Used to help people go forward
• Put an ‘edge’ around what AI is and what it isn’t.
• Presenting AI as an approach for the community so that generally people understand it as the same thing
• It’s a strength-focused strategic planning process
• Use a language that all people can connect with
• Opportunities to practice – apart from going all the way to the US for a course.
• Need more workshops to focus on the why. How to deal with all kinds of push backs/challenges/resistance to the approach.

Professional/skill development

• Accreditation or not accreditation?
• How do we go about this? How do we want it to go?
• Who in Australia would do the teaching?
• Where are the experts?
• Do we need the expertise?
• Where would you go to get mentoring?
• Where can you observe someone facilitating?
• Solid theory and academic reasoning behind what we do and why we do it.
• How do we keep creating opportunities for ourselves to practice?
