eVisioning Maryland Libraries: Wrap Up First, I have to link to the speaker, Andrew Zolli. 1) he is really cool and 2) so he can find my blog :)

Zolli’s getting from Here to There
(closing)

Possible future, probable future, preferable future…

1. Pick targets that matter
Address fear of change and the need for control (stop, relax, ask for help)

What if we bring technologists and designers to these meetings and put them at each table. What if we build institutional relationships with people in different fields – outside of the vendor relationships

2. Involve stakeholders in both metrics & design of the solution

Z+ modeled innovation – 5 basic models
“think model” – have proven lightening bolts of innovation, we take them and lock them in a closet until they come up with an idea. They can’t do this, design to the wrong metric,
Example: write down 75 books and put them on 3x5 cards and shuffle them. Take next person who comes in and have them organize the cards and see what they do. (folksonomies, really)

Make a macho library. {librarians need to get together with Make and create a place to support creativity and for learning about technology, not just soft, touchy-feely stuff}

3. Create a culture of permission
(to allow failure and experimentation and risk)

4. Define a model of accountability

5. Commit to Action
(take this stuff back, can we assign each person here a task?)

6. Support and Celebrate Each Other
