Meeting with Agile software pioneer Alistair Cockburn
UPDATE January 2010 - Alistair has posted his comments on SF and how to use punchier language at http://alistair.cockburn.us/Solutions+Focus+aka+Delta+Method. Go and check it out, and see my comments there.
As you will probably know, I enjoy meeting people who have led developments in other field which seem to have some resonance or connection with SF practice. (See the Karlstad Group section of the site for mo

- Thanks for your early welcome to the group.
My minimal acquainance with the SF subject has led me to think its use could make business consultants more effective. Is that a possibility? Are there any examples, cases, where a series of SF steps have proven successful. Is there a 'best' approach to optimize its use?

All the best, Roger

- Thanks for the welcome Mark much appreciated. Actually I do have one question/comment for you. I have really enjoyed applying the Solutions Focus Model in both 1:1 coaching and workshop situations - it feels really natural to me but ofd course needs losts of practice, as you say simple but subtle. My question relates to OSKAR, given your Solution Focus model has such flexibility why did you feel the need to add a specific coaching model. Thanks, Roger

Julia Cook said… - Hi Mark,
Many thanks for the welcome, nice to hear from you. Kamila has also left a note for me, I feel like I belong already!
Don't do Facebook or any of those kinds of sites so it might take me a while to feel my way around this site. Gonna go now and see if I can do the friend adding thing....wish me luck! Julia.

Karin Holzinger said… - Hello Mark, thanks for adding me to your circle of "friends" on SOLWorld, I'm honoured.
...currently trying very hard to remain solution-focused in the face of bad weather with snow and icy wind in Vienna ;o). Regards, Karin

Meri Walker said… - Thanks for the tips, Mark. I've put code into these text boxes in Nings for awhile now, but I don't know WHAT code to use to get a Twitter update in here. Does Ning have a specific widget for this? Do I get it from Twitter? I've got updates on my wordpress blog with a plugin but I don't know what kind of widget to use here for Twitter... do you know? I figured you would because your feed looks so nice...

- One more thing...Just followed you on Twitter and would love to add my Twitter updates to my page here. Would you please point me to the widget or whatever directions you used to add yours to your page?

You want to learn more about "Solution Focus"?
You prefer a "step by step" introduction instead to start with reading some voluminous books?
