An auspicious start to the new year at the northern tip of the main island of Japan, with good food, good view and even better company.

[Projects] Researcher Skills Framework:

• Worked out the outline of an upcoming IxDA talk with Dave
• Sent in another conference workshop proposal with Dave

Reading:

• Sam Ladner: Mixed Methods: A short guide to applied mixed methods research (link) - For an upcoming DRT book club. I need to finish it up next week and work on slides for my assigned section. Great to get the book version of the masterclass webinar I took last year.
• The Surprising Power of Liberating Structures: Simple Rules to Unleash A Culture of Innovation
  by Henri Lipmanowicz, Keith McCandless (link) - LS has been on my list of things to investigate for a few years, and I finally started reading the book. It’s way more than the descriptions of workshop activity patterns (structures) that I was expecting! Relevant to an ongoing client project, so I’m inspired to take this to the next step.
