MINUTES <br />ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH <br />March 26, 2014 <br />S:\Managers Working Files\BOH\Agenda & Abstracts\2014 Agenda & Abstracts/March Page 4 <br /> <br />C. “Speed Storming” <br /> <br />The Board of Health members participated in a one-hour speed storming session. The <br />purpose of this session was to create thinking and ideas, around the upcoming BOH <br />strategic plan. Speed storming is a combination of brainstorming and speed dating that <br />creates a situation where the creative process is sped up, facilitating new and <br />innovative ideas in a shorter period of time. It identify challenges and to think of the <br />wildest and best solutions without constraints. <br /> <br />Speed storming, when used as a form of brainstorming, benefits by explicitly <br />sanctioning a discussion focused on generating boundary-spanning ideas. It is a social <br />form of idea generation based on the belief that groups will be most creative when <br />criticism is forbidden, freewheeling is encouraged, the goal is to produce more (but not <br />necessarily better) ideas, and there is an explicit goal to combine and improve upon the <br />ideas of others. <br /> <br />Stacy Shelp facilitated speed storming session which developed the following main <br />points from BOH members: <br /> <br />• Communication is the Key <br />• Need to engage as many people as possible via various methods <br />• Creating an open environment, personal contact <br />• Incentive for change and critical mass <br />• Surround yourself with problem solvers <br />• Technology <br />• Engagement including: <br /> Motivating <br /> Contributing <br /> Making a commitment <br /> Collaboration <br /> Capturing attention <br /> Two way street <br /> <br />Stacy will develop a complete report of all the input she received in writing and will <br />share that with the Board at their next meeting. <br /> <br />VI.
