Bas de Baar is a Dutch visual facilitator, creating visual tools for dialogue. He is dedicated to improve the dialogue we use to make sense of change. As The Project Shrink, this is the riddle he tries to solve: “If you are a Project Manager that operates for a short period of time in a foreign organization, with a global team you don’t know, in a domain you would not know, using virtual communication, high uncertainty, limited authority and part of what you do out in the open on the Internet, how do you make it all work?”

Card number 8 in my series of 16 Project World Collectable Cards is titled "The Gathering."

 

The Gathering

Yes. This is your  call to adventure! You've read on the internal announcement board that the organization is launching The Quest To Implement The Awesome Thing! From all the corners of the land (or the gray building you call an office) the weirdest people respond to The Call. They have to. They're the rag tag crew that will take on this Quest.

But you haven't met anyone of The Weird Ones before. Faces might look familiar, but you don't really know anyone.

That's why there will be a gathering. Well actually. The Gathering.  An initiation ceremony where all members of the crew get together before crossing the line. A ritual to reveal culture. To choose your flag. Only the brave do this by discussing Collectable Cards.

I am creating the most awesome poster that ever existed about projects: Your Big Adventure. :) I started to make cards about different things you do in projects. There are a total of 16 that together make an incredible poster.
