Training method: Warm and cold processes
Training method: Warm and cold processes
The warm and cold proccesses approach is one of the tools of i2connect toolkit. It is grounded on the assumption that networks around initiatives differ from projects of organisations. The main idea is that projects and organisations have goals and targets. In initiative-based networks people are connected through ambitions they share.
Managers and project leaders assign tasks to employees. In networks people drop out when they run out of energy. So, it is possible to distinguish processes into cold and warm according to the level of energy. The cold process is about who does what, when, how, and with what instruments and competences. It is also about being accountable to others. The warm process is about people with ambitions. When they connect, this releases energy because it feeds the hope that together they can do more.
Both processes need each other, like the flow in the river needs a bedding. But if the warm process is overlooked, the cold process leads to nothing. The people who find each other in something they want to achieve is called the warm network.
Such a network is always informal, and it can cross the borders of teams, institutions or cultural groups.
