It's dead-pan ironic to make a point about the dry, lack-of-engagement-in-reality extreme approaches. I saw Dave do this 3 or 4 years ago, and it's good to see a recorded version I can share with others. Thanks. (I did / do think it would be better if it ended with the line "you little bastards".)

Thanks for sharing it. I wouldn't have found it otherwise. Great approach to sharing a heavy concept and making sense of it. One may have to think a bit about the connection between their work and these Children Party systems, but not too hard. Eager to take a look at the Sensemaker applications.

Isn't his point really that you would never plan a kid's party the way we plan and run things at work and so why not look at a better way.
