Our Philosophy

10. Monkey Business Idea Slides
Our Philosophy
Journey is the reward. The one who is ready to slow down and stop will get most out of
the journey. Learning is a journey. If we enjoy the journey we are not in a hurry.

The in-between is what matters. Like Liher has said “I feel that every time I go to a new
place I discover something new. But something that you cannot find in a book, in
internet, not even someone can tell you. You have to experience it, and feel it.”

It’s good to have a goal but we also need an open mind for emerging things, which may
end up being more meaningful than the original goal.

As Peter Senge says, the goal of a learning journey is not to see something, but to see
each other.

Be ready for an adventure and expect the unexpected. Trust your intuition and the team
you travel with. Listen and look around. Smile and wonder.

34. “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than
by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch
the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

Vocabulary
Dialogue In Dialogue, one speaks and others listen. Dialogue is a reflective group activity which starts when we speak from our
hearts, meaning we honestly share how we think and feel right then. For more ideas about dialogue see this blog post.
Check-in Check-In is a metaphor that we use for a dialogue that happens in the beginning of a meeting or a process. It's kind of
like tuning mentally into the present moment and situation. Check-In, according to Peter Senge, is simply answering
question "What's up?" but sometimes it may have a more specific question, too. It's kind of the same thing as in a jazz
band when in the beginning the musicians tune their instruments to be in the same tone.
Workshop By workshop we mean an interactive working session. It is not a lecture, but it can also include a little bit of lecturing, or
sharing stories.
Company visit Company visit is a visit to an organization with the idea to learn from their ways of working and potentially together
create best next practices together.
Birth-giving Birth giving is a session where the participants give birth to new knowledge. Sometimes it includes loads of frustration.
Team Academy Team Academy or Tiimiakatemia is a special unit of team entrepreneurship in Jyväskylä University of applied science. It's
special model that combines running a cooperative company, having 8hrs a dialogue a week, and reading latest
business books has been adapted internationally by many unversitities. It's a business, or life, school without teachers or
exams, but a real customer projects and team learning.
Sauna Sauna, a room with hot temperature is a traditional Finnish place for relaxing and refreshing your body and soul.
Solo Experience
Vision Quest
From Wikipedia: A vision quest is a rite of passage in some Native American cultures. The ceremony of the Vision Quest
is one of the most universal and ancient means to find spiritual guidance and purpose. A Vision Quest can provide deep
understanding of one's life purpose. The idea is to spend some time alone in nature - in our case it is going to be few
hours. During the time you can reflect about your life and work in peace. This insight, typically in the form of a dream of
Vision, relates directly to their purpose and destiny in life.
Motorola
-reflection
Back in the 80s at the ICT-company Motorola they had struggled with the long project reports that were hard to create
and boring to read. They decided to make an easy but effective way to report projects. It's made of four questions: 1.
What went well? 2. What went poorly? 3. What did I learn? 4. What will I do differently next time? This is a good way to
reflect in the end of a project or a learning process.
