A culture of learning & doing
• Do you have regularly scheduled communication with your staff/volunteers/co-workers (meetings, webinars, phone calls)?
• After big events or – do you come together and debrief what worked and what didn’t?
• Do you facilitate role playing of consumer interactions? If yes, how often?
• Does your organization observe and provide feedback to staff on consumer interaction?
• Ahead of training – do you dry run the session?

Finding a balance
q I sometimes feel like an explorer in unchartered territory. I don’t know exactly where I am or what I’m doing all of the time but we try new and innovative things every once in a while to see what works.
q We’re ALWAYS trying new things. As soon as I get used to one way of doing something, we are often on to trying it a different way.
q We’ve been using the same tactics the last two years. We don’t often have conversations about how we can make our work more effective and we rarely try new things.
