[Imagination Club] Challenge: more participation

[Harmony Thiessen]

I agree with MD here, and admit that I am usually
reading them, and either too busy to respond, or I put
it off till a time when I can, and then feel I have
waited too long to contribute.

 

Would it help if we took each idea through processes?
i.e. First process is clarification, secondly,
brainstorming- using our innovative minds without
constraint, thirdly, synthesizing the material,
followed with applications, and finally evaluation.
In my humble opinion, we then become not only people
who just like to think and think wildly, smile, but
problem solvers who approach problems or challenges
with ingenuity and ..innovation.  I may have missed a
step or two that one of my colleagues could comment
upon.

I think discussion through email might be a problem.
Many of users might have registered with their
secondary email address which they check only twice or
thrice a week. So, when they check it they email box is
full of many things and most of their goes into
cleaning & reading. Majority of time don't get time to
reply in forum. 

And people who have registered with their primary email
address, might have filtered the messages in separate
folder (which is good thing though) and will reply to
message when they have nothing else to accomplish at
the moment. 

Secondly many people post replies just in one or two
line and without giving little time in thinking because
they think this is not serious. So, in my opinion no
good thinking process has gone for the challenge. 

Thirdly many discussion ends without conclusion or
without any recognition to participants. Even when
Jefferey posts a challenge, he never posts conclusion
message with recognition to contributors. May be you
are concluding because you wish to keep it open? But,
may be we can reopen after sometime. 

Probably for problem number one, we can't do much but
for problem two and three our fearless moderator sure
can bring some discipline. 

Thanks & Regards,

[Imagination Club] Challege: more participation

 


 

 




I have a problem! The level of participation in the 
imagination club has fallen over the past few weeks,
even 
though membership has increased slowly.

A month ago, a challenge would have resulted in at
least a 
half dozen ideas from a half dozen people. Now, most 
challenges get just one or two responses.

So, today's challenge is simple: how can I encourage
you 
and the other 100 or so members to participate more in
the 
imagination club?
