Create a resource for people
to learn about each other.
Choose an information sharing method or resource that is comfortable for your group, department, or company.
Make the resource accessible to everyone. Have everyone include the kinds of details listed below. The resource will be most helpful when participation is mandatory but shared details are voluntary. I did this while leading a group.
Knowledge
Experience
Skills
Resources
Connections
Obstacles overcome
Success in helping someone else
Birthplace
Hobbies
Favorite sports team
Favorite author
Favorite movie
Favorite book
Favorite computer game
Exercise routine
Accidental discovery
Chance opportunity
Anything that fits the situation
Ask everyone if they would like to include any other categories for voluntary sharing.
