08:09:09 From Heather Provencio To Everyone : Quite the time to serve as acting RF... you two have done a great job! 08:09:34 From Robert Trujillo To Everyone : Agreed. Excellent job Elaine and Sandy... Appreciate you both!!! 08:10:57 From Heather Provencio To Everyone : I keep waiting for her to slip and give us a hint, but she just isn't! 08:11:10 From Brad Turberville To Everyone : Agreed Heather 08:11:45 From Debbie Cress To Everyone : Well said, Sandy- thank you! 08:11:56 From Kerwin Dewberry To Everyone : Powerful message to start the day Sandy! Communicating the Big Why was definitely helpful (even if you said it twice.) 08:12:14 From Brad Turberville To Everyone : I appreciate the messaging :) 08:12:19 From Dale Deiter - Prescott National Forest To Everyone : Thanks Sandy for those words! 08:12:46 From Heather Provencio To Everyone : Yes, a well-stated "big why" for this work. Thanks for investing in this team. It makes coming to work a pleasure. 08:13:38 From Ericka Luna To Everyone : Thank you Sandy, Elaine, and Rita for everything you have done over the past year! 08:14:02 From James D. Duran To Everyone : Leading ain't easy. Good Job! 08:14:55 From Kim Giang To Everyone : I am excited to join such a thoughtful leadership team! 08:17:35 From Sandy Watts To Everyone : Appreciate the kinds words everyone! 08:26:24 From Sandy Watts To Everyone : This exercise helps us see the Asset Frame for those World Forces we can't control but we can influence what we do about them. 08:28:34 From Heather Provencio To Everyone : That helps me feel way better about the crazy times we're working in. 08:29:04 From Laura Jo West To Everyone : this totally resonates 08:29:51 From Mike Martinez To Everyone : Stuff outta my control 08:29:51 From Rita Skinner To Everyone : World Forces are based on the interviews Rebecca conducted with RLT members 08:33:03 From Brad Turberville To Everyone : I agree Heather. 08:33:11 From Laura Jo West To Everyone : I really believe we cannot isolate ourselves and our work from the larger world and what's happening within it. I think it's our jobs to find meaning in how we contribute to the betterment of the larger world and paint a picture for employees of how their work fits into that. 08:35:19 From Heather Provencio To Everyone : Right on, Laura Jo! 08:35:24 From Rita Skinner To Everyone : we spend most of our time "putting out fires" (literally and figuratively) which is problem solving. I see world forces as taking the time to become aware of things BEFORE they become a "fire" 08:35:55 From Debbie Cress To Everyone : I like that view, Rita 08:35:56 From Elaine Kohrman, USDA Forest Service To Everyone : an example of this work we are doing as leaders group is yesterday's frame up of the drought situation and related risks/threats, etc. and possible actions 08:36:05 From Sandy Watts To Everyone : yes Laura Jo! 08:39:53 From Heather Provencio To Everyone : It's interesting that you can get overwhelmed and then when it really gets bad, you can get apathetic. Maybe apathy is a way to cope with the pressure. 08:41:28 From Laura Jo West To Everyone : of course right now is overwhelm in a cumulative very real-world sense with this pandemic and all its impact on our peeps OUTSIDE of work. Acknowledging this is super important. Talk about not being able to SOLVE anything, geesh! 08:41:54 From Laura Jo West To Everyone : I notice that too, Heather! 08:42:26 From Jeremy Kruger To Everyone : I really appreciate Heather and Laura Jo's insight on this.... 08:44:15 From Laura Jo West To Everyone : right on, Danny. Great observation on our default 08:44:23 From Jeremy Kruger To Everyone : the world forces impact our customers, partners, also...i think there's a lot of folks overwhelmed, and without their usual buffer... 08:44:33 From Rita Skinner To Everyone : Robert - I agree with the muscle memory - we revert to what we know! 08:46:48 From Dale Deiter - Prescott National Forest To Everyone : well said Adam! 08:47:25 From Sandy Watts To Everyone : Or we just do it and don't ask :-) 08:47:34 From patriciaejohnson To Everyone : Is Elaine's hand up? 08:48:33 From Adam Mendonca, Gila NF NLOT To Everyone : I agree Sandy. That's how we lead out 08:56:14 From lewishcarroll To Everyone : can you show the list of groups again? 08:59:27 From Ericka Luna To Everyone : Yes 08:59:54 From Sandy Watts To Everyone : Email from Rita sent on 1/27/21 9:01 AM 09:05:25 From Adam Mendonca, Gila NF NLOT To Everyone : I agree Heather BREAK 13:04:22 From Heather Provencio to Everyone : Went well....LOTS of trends and we ended up sort of randomly throwing out risks and opportunities as we talked through the trends. 13:05:07 From Sandy Watts to Everyone : Great conversation, went well. Was easy to have the discussion and helped get things off our chest that needed to be said. Maybe developing a description - we didn't get that far. Could see Opportunities as we discussed the risks. Heather was a great recorder - she make sense of our sense making. 13:05:12 From Debbie Cress to Everyone : It was a good process- we had a great evolution from a global perspective down into very local, agency-based perspectives 13:05:19 From Tom Torres to Everyone : the template was useful in arranging information. 13:05:47 From Jeremy Kruger to Everyone : we discussed if "changing role of government" is actually a world force or a focus driven by other world forces such as pandemic... 13:10:16 From Heather Provencio to Everyone : It made it all seem not so overwhelming to talk about it in terms of trends/risks/opportunities. Part of it being overwhelming is the fact that you haven't unpacked it all and made sense of it yet. Today we did some sense making. Very powerful 13:10:58 From Kim Giang to Everyone : I liked that our discussions about the trends started out globally but the risks and opportunities were more focused on our region. 13:12:43 From Elaine Kohrman, USDA Forest Service to Everyone : I also like that aspect! 13:12:53 From Heather Provencio to Everyone : I think we have these discussions sometimes, but mostly, I think we assume we're all tracking the same on the trends without talking about them....a poor assumption. Hearing others talk through their perspectives, really helped me make sense of it all 13:13:55 From Adam Mendonca, Gila NF NLOT to Everyone : I agree Heather 13:14:27 From Laura Jo West to Everyone : me too 13:21:07 From Dale Deiter - Prescott National Forest to Everyone : me three 13:27:27 From Elaine Kohrman, USDA Forest Service to Everyone : well done climate change team!! 13:27:58 From Robert Trujillo to Everyone : Water availability and water accessibility is surely going to be a driving trend for decades to come 13:32:32 From Heather Provencio to Everyone : Absolutely, Robert....that will need to be a huge focus. Populations keep growing and drought keeps coming. How do we maximize the capture and retention/release of water on NF? 13:37:19 From Rita Skinner to Everyone : good job Adam! 13:38:30 From Adam Mendonca, Gila NF NLOT to Everyone : Thanks Rita 13:43:34 From Sandy Watts to Everyone : Like that Dale - doing our work in a boundary-less way 13:43:46 From Adam Mendonca, Gila NF NLOT to Everyone : I agree Dale 13:44:12 From Robert Trujillo to Everyone : Is/has our role evolved to enablers of conservation versus doing it all ourselves? I think so and we have an opportunity to leverage conservation funding and alternative emans of funding on the ground projects. 13:44:26 From Robert Trujillo to Everyone : means not emans.. 13:45:22 From Debbie Cress to Everyone : I agree and hope we are headed that way in our work, Robert 13:45:32 From Tom Torres to Everyone : Great point Liv Thx for sharing 13:45:47 From Robert Trujillo to Everyone : Also, how is this related to the culture of the FS where we view ourselves and are experts in land management but we also have others outside of the FS that are experts in their own right. 13:46:51 From Dale Deiter - Prescott National Forest to Everyone : The RLT field trip to the Acequia's work with firewood/fuels areas related was a fantastic example of us letting go of the reigns with great results and improved relationships 13:48:22 From Robert Trujillo to Everyone : Agreed Dale. That is one of the most innovative ideas I have seen in the FS. How do we take it beyond a single project on a single district? 13:50:42 From Jeremy Kruger to Everyone : the acequia project was successful in part because it tapped into an existing governance structure that the community knew and had used for generations to avoid the "tragedy of the commons"... we were successful by recognizing that structure existed and could be used to help us achieve our mission... 13:52:08 From James D. Duran to Everyone : Dale - appreciate your reflections on the field trip. That model has expanded to 2 other traditional communities and has extended to state and tribal lands. It also maintained it's structure without any breakdowns during the pandemic. Folks had access to wood and did a great job stewarding the resource when we weren't available. Pretty cool 13:52:09 From Elaine Kohrman, USDA Forest Service to Everyone : Great job Mark! 13:52:16 From Kerwin Dewberry to Everyone : That was a good one group 5 13:52:22 From Jeremy Kruger to Everyone : Robert-shared stewardship and shared leadership do differ and I think that is the dynamic tension we often have with partners over expertise.... 13:54:39 From trevaslaughter to Everyone : (To tie into Jeremy's comment above) We discussed how the changing view of the role of government and the way we are adjusting to that allows for more engagement from the public/partners and that leads to increased diversity of thought/ more solutions to issues and public buy-in for the Agency's mission as well as the need to manage expectations when decision-making opportunities by the public/partners is limited 13:55:43 From Jeremy Kruger to Everyone : well-stated Treva! 13:56:49 From Robert Trujillo to Everyone : Definitely a dynamic challenge in terms of shared stewardship vs. shared decision making 14:04:11 From Anthony Madrid to Everyone : Love the pic Robert! 14:04:26 From Heather Provencio to Everyone : Big point I failed to make in our write up, Robert...thank you! A shift to more capacity work more than mission work with administration changes 14:05:15 From Robert Trujillo to Everyone : You did awesome Heather. We had a very robust conversation. Great job!!! 14:05:45 From Heather Provencio to Everyone : Thanks for the support, Robert :o) 14:07:00 From Elaine Kohrman, USDA Forest Service to Everyone : my mom still thinks I fight fire :) 14:07:11 From Robert Trujillo to Everyone : I get the same form my family Adam. Im like, Ive worked for over 15 years with the FS and you still don't know I am not a park ranger.... 14:07:33 From Kurt Davis to Everyone : Same here@Elaine 14:10:54 From Jeremy Kruger to Everyone : That's so funny Elaine, couple years ago my sister introduced me as a smokejumper...I had to explain I never jumped out of a perfectly good airplane, and haven't been on a fire for 7 or 8 years... 14:15:14 From Dale Deiter - Prescott National Forest to Everyone : in that case I highly value chocolate 14:15:17 From Ericka Luna to Everyone : Good Job, Adam. Thanks for reporting out. 14:15:42 From Shayne Martin to Everyone : I bet you're willing to pay for that chocolate. 14:15:53 From Neil Bosworth to Everyone : Get the three done first 14:15:56 From Neil Bosworth to Everyone : lol 14:16:07 From Ericka Luna to Everyone : Ha! 14:34:33 From Sandy Watts to Everyone : Thanks A-S for the new calendar, celebrating 50 years of the Wild free-roaming horses and burros act! 14:34:59 From Anthony Madrid to Everyone : You are welcome Sandy! 14:43:03 From Elaine Kohrman, USDA Forest Service to Everyone : kind of like desert vs. forests? 14:44:28 From Laura Jo West to Everyone : we didn't talk about it that way, Elaine, mostly the distinction between the expectations of our diverse 'customers' 14:44:46 From Laura Jo West to Everyone : tied to the history people have with the laandscape 14:49:11 From Monica Martinez to Everyone : Oh, the irony of it all. I just have to smile.... My laptop cannot handle zoom at home. Here at the RO, this loaner laptop works like a charm. 14:49:56 From James D. Duran to Everyone : Drones for Wild Horse population surveys is something our collaborative is interested in. Our permittees have utilized automated gate trap systems that allow them to shut the trap from the comfort of their home on a cell phone. Big innovations within our wild horse collaborative. 14:51:52 From Sandy Watts to Everyone : @Monica - LOL - glad you were able to finally get connected 14:52:28 From markjacobsen to Everyone : I agree. I've been working with my folks on developing an R3 Strategic Plan for Geospatial Services and Info Management. 14:54:00 From markjacobsen to Everyone : Lots and lots of risks in that future realm that we can alleviate with good strategic planning. 14:54:35 From Tom Torres to Everyone : Thx for sharing that info Mark - Good to know 14:54:37 From Sandy Watts to Everyone : when new employees come and receive their laptops they want to know why we are giving them a brick - paper weight 14:55:00 From Shayne Martin to Everyone : I was pretty horrified in my first federal job. 14:57:05 From James D. Duran to Everyone : And we still approve Ipads and Iphones on an individual basis. Seems like almost everyone could use these tools as they are standard in today's world. Not sure I've ever not approved a request. 14:57:09 From Rita Skinner to Everyone : The FS culture group saw the decrease in integration between fire and others as well 15:01:34 From Dale Deiter - Prescott National Forest to Everyone : my personal opinion is a fire service would be the death of the Forest Service 15:01:46 From Laura Jo West to Everyone : agree Dale 15:02:14 From Robert Trujillo to Everyone : Trying to explain to the public the differing fire terms is often times difficult... I am not sure today what we are calling the different types...but fire is fire... 15:02:32 From Robert Trujillo to Everyone : Agreed Dale. 15:04:06 From Robert Trujillo to Everyone : What opportunities exist to influence local building codes/zoning regulations to help avoid the catastrophic damages due to increasing development in the WUI...the WUI has been ever expanding in my 15 years with the FS. 15:04:45 From Adam Mendonca, Gila NF NLOT to Everyone : We are working on that very thing Robert 15:09:14 From Neil Bosworth to Everyone : Can we get a list of the topics to look at? 15:09:45 From Neil Bosworth to Everyone : Would help remind me what's out there 15:11:32 From Rebecca Reynolds to Everyone : working on it 15:11:34 From Wendy Jo Haskins to Everyone : Climate Change, Politics, Budget Changes, Pandemic, Role of Govt, Wildland fire vs. Land mgt, Technology, Public Perception, FS Culture, and Socio-economic... 15:11:40 From Neil Bosworth to Everyone : Thank you! 15:14:08 From Heather Provencio to Everyone : I think I'm slipping in to "solving" the issue instead of framing it. I can imagine solving the mission stuff, but I'm struggling with how will solve the capacity stuff. 15:14:26 From Laura Jo West to Everyone : Where to astrological energies fit? :) 15:14:26 From Robert Trujillo to Everyone : Agreed Dale. Climate change encompasses everything from invasives, TES, keeping comman species commen, Water availability and accessibility, fire, etc. etc... 15:14:56 From Robert Trujillo to Everyone : @Laura Jo - i think those are the vortex's vortices on the red rock district??? 15:15:29 From Laura Jo West to Everyone : You got it, Robert! BIG FORCES! lol 15:15:49 From Shayne Martin to Everyone : More than happy to help with public perception and/or technology. 15:15:51 From Robert Trujillo to Everyone : @ Heather, I agree. i think the capacity work is much more difficlut and if we don't get that correct can lead us to challenges on the mission side. 15:16:05 From Laura Jo West to Everyone : good question, Adam! 15:17:46 From Dale Deiter - Prescott National Forest to Everyone : The force is strong with you LJ. : ) 15:17:58 From Dale Deiter - Prescott National Forest to Everyone : And, I am not the droid you are looking for. 15:18:08 From Laura Jo West to Everyone : that's hilarious, Dale! 15:18:39 From Dale Deiter - Prescott National Forest to Everyone : i am willing to help 15:19:41 From Adam Mendonca, Gila NF NLOT to Everyone : Good job Dale 15:20:05 From Shayne Martin to Everyone : I will 15:24:30 From Robert Trujillo to Everyone : Climate Change, Budget Changes, Wildland Fire vs. Land Mngt., Technology with FS culture interweaved in all makes good sense to me 15:24:46 From Adam Mendonca, Gila NF NLOT to Everyone : Agree Robert. Those are what I would do 15:25:51 From Rita Skinner to Everyone : I can’t vote as a “co-host” but I would pick Technology, Fire/Land mgmt, and Climate Change 15:26:33 From Adam Mendonca, Gila NF NLOT to Everyone : climate change 15:26:47 From Wendy Jo Haskins to Everyone : Role and importance of public lands 15:26:57 From Mike Martinez to Everyone : FS Reputation, but maybe that's actually captured by Public Perception 15:28:40 From Tom Torres to Everyone : we might consider Socio-Economic as more than just Rural-Urban Spilt the dynamic tension between our conservation mission and need for economic activity is big 15:28:48 From Amy Padilla to Everyone : What was the final number of voters? 15:29:08 From Heather Provencio to Everyone : I think you're on to something, Tom 15:29:13 From Laura Jo West to Everyone : great point, Tom 15:29:28 From Rebecca Reynolds to Everyone : 38 voted 15:29:50 From Robert Trujillo to Everyone : I agree Rita. Forest service culture and public perception of FS can be a part of those thre. 15:29:56 From Robert Trujillo to Everyone : three 15:30:00 From Amy Padilla to Everyone : I wonder if the last 9 or 10 would sway one way or another 15:30:43 From Dale Deiter - Prescott National Forest to Everyone : I like Robert's idea to weave in FS culture into the world forces rather than have it as a stand alone. 15:30:53 From Heather Provencio to Everyone : I really feel like wildland fire/land management fits within climate or is an issue driven by climate. I think FS culture is within all of these. Tech is going to leave us in the dust if we don't focus on it 15:31:19 From Brad Turberville to Everyone : I agree with both Mike and Heather. 15:31:45 From Rebecca Reynolds to Courtney Upshall(Direct Message) : can you please grab the %s of each for me? 15:32:17 From Sandy Watts to Everyone : Very good point Kerwin 15:32:38 From Shayne Martin to Everyone : perception is an issue, especially when I can barely get everyone to use authorized logos or standardized terms. 15:33:01 From Adam Bromley to Everyone : public perception definitely drives our ability to recruit and retain 15:33:06 From Heather Provencio to Everyone : yes, public perception will be inherent to any world force 15:33:11 From Adam Mendonca, Gila NF NLOT to Everyone : We have to deal with each of these so if we don't include them in the strategic plan, what does it mean for how the region will address these things 15:33:27 From Jeremy Kruger to Everyone : right, wrong, or otherwise, perception is reality 15:34:00 From lewishcarroll to Everyone : I am wondering if the WIldland Fire vs Land Mgt is an internal "topic". the public/partners don't differentiate. 15:34:07 From Liv Fetterman to Everyone : Well-said, Robert. 15:34:21 From Rita Skinner to Everyone : How do we get to a place where we don't have to deal with everything... is it even possible? 15:34:48 From Laura Jo West to Everyone : i ask myself that question every day, Rita! :) 15:35:07 From Ericka Luna to Everyone : I agree, Neil. 15:35:11 From Robert Trujillo to Everyone : How does public perception differ from the FS "branding" effort that I believe Region 6 was working on several years back? 15:35:25 From Sandy Watts to Everyone : The example has 8 world forces - finding the sweet spot may mean we build more out and then refine. All of the data we gathered is great and will find it's way into the plan as Rebecca shared - it may just be in another place - like Identity. 15:35:35 From Shayne Martin to Everyone : they are related. Lots of technical things going on around perception/reputation 15:35:58 From Rebecca Reynolds to Everyone : yes 15:36:42 From Laura Jo West to Everyone : R6's branding effort was really well received by the general public ( FS retirees hated it). Very focused, pithy, on-point. In my view it got unnecessarily complicated as we evolved it natioanlly 15:37:25 From Kurt Davis to Everyone : I think all of the categories are important and will need to be discussed. 15:37:38 From Sandy Watts to Everyone : I'm hearing we want to write Wildland Fire Vs. Land Mgmt Org, Climate Change, FS Culture, Public perception and maybe we copy the example - managing the unexpected - but us our data that we just developed. 15:38:12 From Jeremy Kruger to Everyone : that's a great point Wendy Jo, public lands have been critical to so many people's wellness this past year... 15:38:19 From Sandy Watts to Everyone : Does anyone want to share their thoughts on what they think might be missing? 15:38:28 From Heather Provencio to Everyone : When I think about the biggest threat facing humankind, it's climate change. We have to acknowledge/address that given how big the public lands base is; we have a role in addressing climate change. But yeah Neil, the wildfire v land management does get at it too. 15:38:58 From James D. Duran to Everyone : Public lands will also be vital to community economic recovery from the pandemic. Especially in rural areas that were hit hard. 15:39:45 From Neil Bosworth to Everyone : I don't disagree Heather...would rather break it down to more specific aspects that we can influence. Fire, water, etc 15:39:50 From Sandy Watts to Everyone : Very good points Ian 15:39:58 From Laura Jo West to Everyone : Nothing is missing and I'm not convinced all are needed because of natural 'nesting.' Climate changeis an obvious umbrella to me to almost everything else. AGree with Heather's point 15:40:21 From Robert Trujillo to Everyone : Agree with LJ 15:40:34 From Heather Provencio to Everyone : yes, I'm with you Neil: water, fire, sustainable rec are the specifics we can focus on to create resilient forests 15:40:54 From Robert Trujillo to Everyone : Will take discipline to not throw in everything including the "kitchen sink" in climate change. need focus and refinement on our FS role 15:41:08 From Sandy Watts to Everyone : Yes Robert 15:41:16 From Neil Bosworth to Everyone : Another aspect of climate change is offsets...it will probably roll back around and would be interesting to explore. If federal lands should be available, etc 15:41:25 From Laura Jo West to Everyone : agree 15:41:40 From Robert Trujillo to Everyone : And i can bet Carbon credits may make a comeback.... 15:41:51 From Tom Torres to Everyone : agree Robert 15:42:41 From Wendy Jo Haskins to Everyone : Good point Dale 15:44:14 From Rita Skinner to Everyone : … and stop creating unique logos for everything 15:44:16 From Elaine Kohrman, USDA Forest Service to Everyone : Thanks Shayne! 15:44:22 From Shayne Martin to Everyone : no logos for you 15:44:24 From Sandy Watts to Everyone : Perfect Shayne 15:45:05 From Ericka Luna to Everyone : I am interested to hear more, Shayne. 15:45:18 From Robert Trujillo to Everyone : Agreed Heather. Every technology upgrade we get is obsolete when we get approval to use... 15:45:21 From Shayne Martin to Everyone : branding divides groups, creates tribes and the "other" happens. One logo, one agency. simple message :) 15:45:26 From Mike Martinez to Everyone : Struggling with the question of whether we should view World Forces as sideboards within which to operate, or artificial lines that we should blow up 15:45:33 From Neil Bosworth to Everyone : I agree Heather 15:45:46 From Neil Bosworth to Everyone : So many opportunities 15:45:52 From Anthony Madrid to Everyone : I agree Heather, I think technology will help us deal with several capacity issues. 15:45:53 From Laura Jo West to Everyone : disagree on division caused by branding 15:46:11 From Shayne Martin to Everyone : I can send you a bunch of academic studies on it 15:46:27 From Laura Jo West to Everyone : Going with my experience of it Shayne. 15:46:33 From Brad Turberville to Everyone : Heather hits the nail on the head, many of our contractors or consulting foresters are much more advanced than we are, and some states in the rec. world also. 15:47:49 From Shayne Martin to Everyone : when you dilute a brand you take away credibility from the main source. Everything has a consequence and it creates confusion with the audience. You may gain stronger connections locally but that has a cost. 15:52:54 From James D. Duran to Everyone : We actually have a great deal of technology but often times lack the training on how to use it effectively. The pandemic forced a lot of us to learn how to use certain existing systems including TEAMS. . Took a pandemic to get us away from our traditional conference calls. 15:53:20 From Laura Jo West to Everyone : LOL so true, James! 15:53:50 From Shayne Martin to Everyone : Have to encourage a sense of curiosity around applying and trying new technology. That's hard sometimes in agencies that have a culture that values tradition or history. 15:54:42 From Laura Jo West to Everyone : oh my 15:56:08 From Laura Jo West to Everyone : what about visitors? 15:56:16 From Laura Jo West to Everyone : WHat about enforecement? 15:56:17 From Shayne Martin to Everyone : I think this is pretty much well understood but we're still waiting an working on how we are communicating this exactly to the public. So please wait until we get that before having anyone send or create products on how we're messaging this. 15:56:51 From Robert Trujillo to Everyone : That will help with our public perception... 15:58:34 From Shayne Martin to Everyone : https://www.nps.gov/orgs/1207/covid-mask-requirement.htm 15:58:47 From Monica Martinez to Everyone : Thank you.
