The 6 Ps for Dialogue Magic

EP practitioner Nadiya Brock shares a planning framework that can transform difficult conversations, meetings, class discussions, or dialogues. This is a piece of learning that we teach in many of our workshops and trainings. It’s call the 6 Ps:

1. Purpose
2. People
3. Prevent
4. Promote
5. Plan
6. Preparation

The 6 Ps are not just for those times when you’re planning a tough conversation though. It’s a useful framework for all kinds of design processes and multi-stakeholder conversations, such as strategic planning sessions as well as project management and even program design.
