    problem • Experiments • What we learnt • Siptember
  2. “I know I dropped out, but as soon as I

    got out of jail I knew where I wanted to be and that was back at Cromwell. Thanks for taking me back and putting me into Entrée.”
  3. The Planet Plan’s areas of focus Community and connectedness Places

    Eco & food systems Water Material & products Energy Transport Waste

    Planet plan and mini briefs Is it possible to create distinct chunks of work matched to skills?

  8. We’ll generate some great solutions to help STREAT reduce disposable

    coffee-cup use and lay the foundation for an ongoing relationship with RMIT Hypothesis: RMIT MBA
  9. Learning: We got some awesome ideas from the students We

    were amazed with the passion from students
  10. • Harness corporate volunteer days • Create elements for Siptember

    • Spread Siptember word on social media • Volunteers will feel that they’re part of something bigger • Build volunteer network and relationships Hypotheses: Design Relay
  11. • Volunteers may pull out or not turn up •

    The work involved in set-up won’t be sustainable Risks:
  12. “I felt more hope about the future than I have

    in a long time and it was exciting to see the collaboration between Bec & Jamie Forsyth occur.” “I met two nice women who connected with me on LinkedIn and we are going to meet up at the STREAT cafe in a few weeks' time to discuss possible work opportunities for me.” “I thoroughly enjoyed the day. It was a wonderful combination of design thinking, social enterprise and behaviour change.”
  13. Learning: • Corp volunteer days • Returning volunteers • Siptember

    elements • RMIT course credit • Publicity • A surprise…we’ll come to later
  14. Learning: • Almost too many people! • Skill curation needed

    • Opportunities to improve handover • Corp volunteer days • Returning volunteers • Siptember elements • RMIT course credit • Publicity • A surprise…we’ll come to later
  15. Learning: • Need to know constraints up front • Almost

    too many people! • Skill curation needed • Opportunities to improve handover • Corp volunteer days • Returning volunteers • Siptember elements • RMIT course credit • Publicity • A surprise…we’ll come to later
  16. • We will get usable outcomes for STREAT • Corporate

    communities’ involvement will raise awareness and change behaviours internally • Smaller amounts of time will get better participation • Where there’s indirect contact volunteers may bail Hypotheses: Corporate engagement
  17. Committed vs. uncommitted volunteers Enthusiasm can (sometimes) run out of

    control Clear signalling of intention is vital Learnings
