to outcomes over the last year and has the capacity to sustain
this improvement.

The Solution The 2006 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Annual Managers
Conference was a large event. Around 350 of the Council’s
top managers attended the event, and pixelfountain trained
them all! 5 facilitators ran 10 sessions of the Planit-yh learning-simulation (computer-based resource management model). A prize was awarded
to the winning team.
Paul facilitating one
of the 10 sessions!
Planit-sustainability
is an excellent
resource for team working, problem solving and
collaboration; it has been
used with diverse audiences from front-line
staff
to Chief Executives.
Previously Planit-yh learning-simulation
has been used in Yorkshire & Humber to generate an understanding
of sustainable communities with Local Strategic Partnerships.
The learning-simulation itself is a tailoring of Planit-nw (micro
site).
The day was a great success. We were pleased that the Leader
of the Council and Chief Executive praised pixelfountain and,
more importantly for the people of East Riding, the teams achievements.
Outcome and Feedback
All the teams scored highly, showing
that they had understood the needs of the virtual community,
they had collaborated well and modified their strategy as problems
and opportunities emerged in the simulation.
“Created
a good cooperative working environment.”
“Thinking more widely than my day
to day job normally allows.”
The scores on the doors
The
event will build capacity and aid mainstreaming of sustainable
development within the Local Authority and its partnerships.
