Only SAP leaders + advisors can post

Delegates can comment, so other tasks we later require the delegates to do can be done as comments.

First Blog Post:

Introduce the global issue; write up a ~200 word introduction to the issue which will later be sent to delegates through email (see next slide)

Summarize the pyramid structure & explain compass groups Link them to

http://ginmanila2012.wordpress.com/sap-methodology/stage-0-2/compass-groups/

Include the 5 choices of visions per compass site Link them to the following:

Summarize the pyramid structure & explain compass groups Again, link them to the page:

http://ginmanila2012.wordpress.com/sap-methodology/stage-0-2/compass-groups/

Ask delegates to EMAIL BACK WITH RANKINGS 1-4 of their preference of compass groups

LINK THEM TO the WORDPRESS POST (“First Blog Post” in previous slide) of 5 choices of visions per compass site and COMMENT which Vision they think is the most fitting (for each compass site). State that therefore ultimately they need to select 4 visions (1 top vision from the 5 choices per compass group).

Send this email to delegates by: Dec. 5Due date for delegates to finish tasks mentioned here: Dec.12

Draft this email by: Dec. 1

Fourth Step: Meet Together to decide 20 Possible Indicators

What to Include in Second Blog Post: Acknowledge the 4 Visions (1 for each compass group) based

upon the votes executed in the form of comments by delegates themselves

Review the page explaining Indicators and Behavior Maps http://ginmanila2012.wordpress.com/sap-methodology/stage-0-2/

indicators-and-behavior-graphs/

Further clarify and discuss concept of Indicators and Behavior Maps

CREATE a list of 5 possible indicators (for each of the 4 Visions that have been decided = 20 indicators) according to respective visions

Fifth Step: Create Second Blog Post

What to Include in Second Blog Post: Declare the 4 Visions (1 for each compass group) based upon the votes executed in the form of

comments by delegates themselves Link them to the page explaining Indicators and Behavior Maps

http://ginmanila2012.wordpress.com/sap-methodology/stage-0-2/indicators-and-behavior-graphs/

Further explain Indicators and Behavior Maps Define and give examples

Indicators = things that help us better understand trends in our global issue i.e. acres of trees cut down per year (deforestation) i.e. number of endangered species of fish (fisheries depletion)

Behavior maps - a visual representation of how you think the indicator acts over time (past, present, future)

This is based on your research but you don’t need data Show whether or not you are happy with the occurring trend using an emoticon The purpose is to get people thinking about what is happening in terms of trend *IMPORTANT: Show an example of a CLEAR EXAMPLE BEHAVIOR MAP showing

vital components to it. This will later be provided by the GIN committee PUT UP the list of 5 possible indicators (for each of the 4 Visions that have been decided = 20

indicators) that FALs have decided STATE THE LINK that there can be a behavior map for every indicator *This must be done before the Second Email is sent, which is discussed on the next slide…

Sixth Step: Draft (and later, Send) Your Second Email to DelegatesWhat to say in this Second email:

Declare the 4 Visions (1 for each compass group) based upon the votes executed in the form of comments by delegates themselves

LINK them to the “SECOND BLOG POST” in which information and embedded videos explaining indicators and behavior maps are in

Ask for delegates to DRAW THEIR OWN BEHAVIOR MAP for AN INDICATOR OF THEIR CHOICE, PHOTOCOPY IT, and POST IT UP AS A COMMENT on the “SECOND BLOG POST.”

Send this email to delegates by: Jan.13Due date for delegates to finish uploading their behavior graph as a comment: Jan.22
