Acknowledgement

lernOS Diversity & Inclusion was created with the help of many people and came from many different sources. It is therefore a collaborative work. The respective sources are listed in the Weeklys (weekly instructions) and Katas (exercises) on the one hand and under Resources on the other.

In addition, we would like to introduce the authors who developed the guide.

Many thanks to Simon Dückert for the content-related, technical and moral support!

The guide was written by: Pivi Scamperle, Nicole Knaack, Hans Jablonski, Julia Dobbin, Frederike Fehsenfeld, Franziska Hacke, Julia Haupt, Betina Psyk.

A big thank you for constructive feedback and corrections goes to:

Glossary

^1Barcamp^: A barcamp is an open event format, also called an unconference or ad-hoc conference. The content and schedule of the conference are still open at the beginning and are only determined on site by the participants. You can find more information here: https://www.eventbrite.de/blog/barcamp-methode-definition-ablauf-regeln/#definition-barcamp-methode

^2Sketchnoting^: The term is a compound of sketch (sketches) and note (notes) - i.e. notes consisting of text, images and structures. The creation of a sketchnote is called sketchnoting and is often used as an alternative to conventional note-taking. You can find more information here: https://sketchnoting.net/

^3Expert^ Debriefing: A method that serves to capture and structure expert knowledge and thus make it further usable (for the company and/or the succession). There is even a LernOS guide to this: https://cogneon.github.io/lernos-expert-debriefing/de/1-1-Geschichte-des-Expert-Debriefings/

^7Learning^ Circle: If you do not want to do lernOS alone, you can join a group of 4-5 people. This group is called a Learning Circle. You can find more information here: https://cogneon.github.io/lernos-for-you/de/1-3-lernOS-Circle/

^8Sprint^: lernOS is practised in 13 weeks. Similar to Scrum, this period is called a sprint. Further information can also be found here: https://cogneon.github.io/lernos-for-you/de/1-3-Lebenslanges-Lernen-mit-lernOS/#lernos-sprints-neues-lernen-in-nur-13-wochen

^9WOL^ Working Out Loud: WOL is a self-learning method and also an attitude. The term was taken up by Bryce Williams in 2010 and further developed into a method by John Stepper in 2015. More info here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_out_loud and here: https://workingoutloud.com/de/home/

^13NOOB^: Noob means newcomer or beginner and is a shortening of the English word \"newbies\".

^14Brown^ Paper: Brown Paper is nothing more than a roll of wrapping paper on which (due to its size) a process with all the important process features is visualised with the help of sticky notes and pens. Details can also be found here: https://www.business-wissen.de/hb/was-ist-die-brown-paper-methode/

^15^ Mind mapping: Mind mapping is a method of organising thoughts in the form of keywords, images, reference points, elements, etc. and bringing them into relation to each other. Further information is available at: www.mindmapping.com

Stop reading, start doing!

If you have only read this guide so far, but are not yet actively using lernOS, then you should start now! Getting started with lernOS is really easy. Here are the five steps that will help you get started smoothly:

Schedule time: Define the quarter in which you want to start with lernOS. Write down the times for the weekly in the calendar. This regular appointment is especially important if you practise lernOS in a Circle.
Define objectives and key results: Use week 0 to set your goals and measurable outcomes for the sprint. Choose a goal that you really care about.
Start a Circle: Look for 3-4 people who want to start a sprint in the same quarter. If someone has already been in another Circle, this person can take on the role of Circle facilitator.
Organise the Weekly: If you don\'t know your Circle members, it\'s best to meet in person during week 0. Use social networks or messengers to communicate between meetings. Use video conferencing to organise virtual meetings.
Plan, Do, Learn, Repeat: Use the last weekly in week 12 to reflect on the results and the cooperation in the circle. Decide whether you want to go through another sprint together.

Keep Calm & Learn On!
