The goal of this workshop is to teach the Flow concepts to the audience through a gamified way of learning, and implementing the Flow concept in their organization’s flow.

The Flow Game workshop helps organizations bring more Flow in work, manage complex workflows, without falling into any loopholes. The participants will get deeper understanding of the Flow concept and the motivation to create their own context specific practices by playing the Flow game. This session kick-starts with the introduction of Flow concept and how the Flow game is designed based on the same concept.

Participants will learn the Flow concepts followed by group activities and simulations where they will ideate, design and construct  through build a Flow based system through a few minutes of play. Later on, the workshop will carry on with exhibiting the key constructs of a Flow system and achieving a Lean Organisation with Flow.

Inquiry-Based Learning | Glossary

Definition:

Inquiry-based learning is a form of active learning. This starts by posing questions, making observations, problems or scenarios- rather than simply presenting facts. This process is mostly assisted by a facilitator. This can be done in multiple formats like field-work, case studies, investigations, individual and group projects, research projects, requirement gathering.

To develop knowledge or solutions, inquirers are done to identify and research issues. Questions are developed which includes problem-based learning which is generally used in projects as well as research. Inquiry-based learning is principally very closely related to the development and practice of thinking skills. Specific learning processes that people engage during inquiry-learning  is by creating questions of their own, obtaining supporting evidence to answer the questions, explaining the evidence collected, connecting the explanation to the knowledge obtained from the investigative process, creating an argument and justification for the explanation. There are four different levels  of Inquiry based learning i.e. Confirmation Inquiry, Structured Inquiry, Guided Inquiry and Open/True Inquiry. Inquiry requires multiple cognitive processes and variables, such as causality and co-occurrence that enrich with age and experience.
