I'm used to speaking to 'senior stakeholders' at the charities I partner with. But I might take a bit of getting used to because I'm no fan of jargon and I like trying to get to the heart of something, rather than name-checking the buzzwords of the day. I don't ask them where they'd like to see their charity in 20 years time. I ask them what they might do with the gift of a magic wand that bestows unlimited money and resources. I don't ask them to rationalise competing messages and priorities. I ask them what ideas we could 'put in the bin'.  I don't ask about decision-making processes. I ask how decisions will get made so we don't spend our lives on metaphorical mini roundabouts. (I'm not a fan of mini roundabout decision-making.) And the plain speaking produces really interesting answers in return. It gives permission for bolder conversations. It gives space for more distinct propositions. It opens a path for the really key things to 'float to the top', rather than sink to the bottom in jargon land. Let me know if you want to find out more.
