I like I wish

Innovative projects call for individual and collective creativity. This requires an atmosphere where team members feel safe to share their ideas, thoughts and doubts. Open communication is crucial in interdisciplinary teams, where differing and competing viewpoints are at the same time essential and yet can spark conflict. Team members should have the ability to provide feedback to each other. Without feedback people might not know whether they are doing things right or doing the right things. The risk is that the team’s behaviour starts to build on assumptions. If assumptions are never spoken aloud, efforts may be focused and energy spent on things that never existed in the first place. I like I wish is a facilitated team feedback activity where team members of a team engaged in a creative project get to provide and receive both positive and constructive feedback in written as well as in spoken format. Sessions are processed in a safe and systematic way. Follow the detailed instructions for running a session in ilikeiwish.org.

The format was developed by Satu Rekonen through dozens of sessions organized since 2011 on several different interdisciplinary courses taking place mainly in Aalto Design Factory.
