Have you ever left a meeting, either at work or with friends, feeling like you didn't make the most of your time together? Then this one is for you. In fact, this one is for all of us who gather. In this episode we explore The Art Of Gathering by Priya Parker who guides us through a step by step approach to ensure we maximise our precious time when we meet whether it is being clear on your purpose, your role as host, setting up "pop up" rules or closing with power. Join us as we explore these themes by sharing our personal experiences and experiments with gathering better.

    SPARK Episode #2: How to visualise and measure collaboration (Organisational Network Analysis)

    How we communicate and collaborate is incredibly important, for example when you are implementing organisational change or would like to understand how communication flows through your organisation. Yet, often these patterns are very invisible and hard to measure. We might have the solution for you! We're joined by Lisa to discuss Organisational Network Analysis (ONA). What it is, how it can be applied and the way the analysis is done.
