• Hear the Call: Bring in this practice when the team needs to agree on or refresh what is driving the need to learn, develop, change.
• Create Future Pull: Draw on this to help the team create or amp up its motivation and to become more aware of what members want to create together.
• Search: Turn to this practice when the team needs to find the best resources to draw on so that they are using the most relevant information.
• Connect the Dots: This practice occurs when the team creates learning and plans and schedules?
• Mine for Gold: This practice helps team members – alone or together -- to use advanced techniques for processing information and experiences: concentrating, doing deeper learning, dealing with information distortion and bias, efficiently learning from a variety of resources?
• Learn to Last: With this practice, team members benefit from and support each other to internalize better techniques for remembering, skill development, recognizing and updating attitudes and beliefs, being more creative learners?
