New PODS! Identifying problem and goal statements with your project teams

PROJECT TEAMS LINKED HERE

Starter
Get into your project teams and share out one thing you're excited about regarding this team or project OR why you chose this project.

Today's Goals:

• Decide on what problem your project is solving or what need you are addressing regarding mental health
• Develop a goal statement that states how you plan on solving that problem or addressing that need.
• Decide on committees and roles
• Begin brainstorming ideas!

Next Steps Framing from Ashley
"People don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it" -Simon Sinek
If you want to make change, sell a product, inspire, you gotta speak to the WHY. We scrapped our original plan for problem and goal statements and decided it made more sense for each project team to develop their own specific to their project.  So, the next part of class is devoted to fleshing out the problem your project team is trying to solve and then your WHY, WHAT and HOW (Why, Vision and Mission) to solve that problem ideally in a way that connects to our project's overarching goal of building a more resilient community. 

Problem Statement Drafting

1. Complete Step 1 on the handout
2. Write your problem statement on the board under your project team name

Goal Statement (WHAT/WHY/HOW) Drafting
Once Ashley approves your problem statement (Yup, I am the Queen of Approval) now fill out the rest of the handout.

Committee Roles and Project Brainstorm Discussion

1. Open up a google doc and share it with your team and Ashley AND Lori
2. This will be your team's shared planning doc. Title it appropriately.
3. Decide who will be the Project Team Leader-- this person will be the liaison between other project teams to keep everything connected and cohesive. Will require extra work.
4.  Decide what committees  you need to have to divide and conquer this project! (see below for suggestions)
5. Decide who will be on each committee and fill in the Project Team spreadsheet with that information
6. Discuss and take notes:

• Begin brainstorming project ideas! Start fleshing out your "what".
• What questions or concerns do you have
• What does your group need to be successful? From Ashley? From each other? From the community? From experts/businesses, etc...?
