Coaching via Worksite
All of our coaching services are supported by project "worksites." This Worksite is the Cogent Language name for its dynamic, visual development context for individuals and teams facing today's major project challenges. Each worksite is online support for tackling one of these challenges.
Worksite Map
Here's a map of the framework. As can be seen, the Project Work challenge is set out at the top left. To help tackle it, the framework provides 4 work "zones". These offer context, approach, space to work, and a work flow.
Worksite Zones
The worksite name at the upper left identifies the challenge confronted, the Project Work.
The top zone, Work Context, says why the work makes sense, and when and where to do it.
The next zone, Work Approach identifies stages, resources, tools, links, and templates
The third zone is the largest and most important: the Work Space. This is where you do the work. This zone serves individuals and/or teams as a live, collaborative environment for tackling the Project Work via templates from Approach. You can customize or replace templates, add sticky notes, text boxes, comments, and/or leverage many other online tools for your purpose.
The fourth zone, Work Flow offers a step-by-step path through the Work Space, consistent with the Approach and the rationales set out in the Context.
This set of zones frames a systemic team conversation, a design process that can be customized, transparently, to the project business case, organization, phase, deliverables, and individuals.
At the same time, this architecture provides a flexible context for learning collaborative systems practice, a way of doing project work that is both 20th Century classic and bleeeding edge 2023.
In these ways, worksite architecture offers a pattern language for doing project work, a medium for communication, knowledge management, and learning, individual and collective.
