Maker Movement v2
Do you want to enable people and organisations to change behaviours and embed different ways of thinking and acting to drive culture around AI / Copilot, Low Code / Power Platform?
Are there other outcomes you’re trying to drive, tech or non-tech related, where you’re trying to drive a change in awareness, perception, behaviour, or actions?
Well say “Hello!” to the ‘Enablement Engine’ the v2 of a model we can use to enable people and organisations to change behaviours and embed different ways of thinking and acting to drive culture.
This simplification of the iterative cycle, and the rename, is to show that this isn’t just a ‘Maker Movement’ - This is a way to Enable the world!
Come and read all about it and some examples of how these steps could be used to Enable AI and Microsoft Copilot!
Celebrate
A key part of the Maker Movement in enabling adoption is story telling. We want to celebrate the people, behaviours, and ‘things’ that people are doing, learning, sharing, making.
In this blog post we’re going to look into what we should be looking to celebrate to reinforce our desired behaviours and inspire others to do the same. We’ll look at some of the audiences we’d like to share these celebrations with and some of the approaches in doing it.
Solve Problems
How do we help give people a scalable structure that helps them identify potential use cases in their work, design and build it right and well, relase it into the wild to our users, support it, and iteratively improve it? Well fear not…. In today’s blog post you’ll read about the latest part of the ‘Maker Movement’ in enabling people and growing adoption!
Educate
LET’S BUILD SUPERHEROES!
In my latest blog post we focus on an approach to educating those ‘Leaders’ and ‘People’ who we have inspired in previous steps of the ‘Maker Movement’. We start to identify a structured approach to teach them HOW to learn not WHAT to learn based on Formal Training, learning from others, and learning whilst doing.
Leaders
‘Leaders’ is the first, or last (as I explain in the post), step of the ‘Maker Movement’ we’re going to delve into. They’re critical to our success and to the success of inspiring and directing the organisation to help them understand what the platform is, what it does, and why it’s important to THEM, and the organisation. But there are different types of leaders! Who? Well read this post to understand that, and how Backstage Leadership can be used to drive our value hypothesis!
The Maker Movement
The Maker Movement is a frame work of steps centred on building an enabling community that give a way to iteratively grow engagement and adoption.
In this post you’ll get a high level overview of the steps to Establish behaviours, enable those behaviours to deliver value, and use story telling to reinforce those behaviours and attract others to join the movement too!
The key ingredient is… fun!
PP Enablement - My view of the world
Power Platform Enablement is the framework and approach we set and follow to systematically unlock the value of the Power Platform. Using some of the principles of more traditional change management approaches, coupled with ‘Viral Change’ techniques we can help change behaviours and support the success of Citizen Developers!
