BIG Book Club
What is it?
The BIG BoK Club is a friendly reading group to help people engage with the BIG BoK. The idea is not to provide a dry reading, but to delve into the background, support comprehension but to explore implication and application. Feedback will be taken too.
Why?
Multiple purposes and benefits.
- To encourage people to engage more closely with BIG both conceptually, and as an organisation.
- To create additional ongoing value for paying members.
- To increase people talking about BIG concepts in their workplaces.
- To reduce barriers to uptake of exams.
- To create additional buzz / promotional opportunities around the conference/ learning day/merch anything else we have going on at any given time.
- Can get feedback on BoK and use cases.
- Potential to morph / spin off into study groups and BoK re-writing.
Essentially working on the expanded BIG universe! Expanding and deepening our community.
Who?
Veronica leads the group and plans the content schedule. Danny moderation and provides tech support. Alex – invaluable moral support and input!
