The Five Whys tool helps explore past decisions. What guides decisions now and in the future? For example, when you buy sticky notes, is it more important to choose the most inexpensive price, an environmentally-friendly option, or shop at a local business? Whether you are buying something, improving a vendor process, creating a strategic plan, coaching a team on inclusion, or updating policies and ordinances, this session is for you.

In this workshop, you will . . .

• Identify what you know about your organization’s values
• Begin to develop checklists and standard work to consider values in decision making
• Think differently before you next allocate time, people, materials, or money

Where to go

CoBank Leadership Center - Busse Board Room

Parking Instructions / Public Transportation

The address is 711 Park Avenue West, Denver, CO 80205. There is a surface lot in the back of the building that has 20+ spaces, first come, first served. A privately owned parking lot is across from the building that charges $3 per hour and takes cards. Due to the construction in the area, it is now filling up fast. There is street parking, but you need to be mindful of the 1-2 hour limits, and Denver’s street sweeping restrictions.

The closest light rail station is at 25th and Welton and there are bus stops on Stout on the west side of the building and at 23rd and California across Park Avenue West. If you should use Uber or Lyft or a cab, please ask to be let out in the parking lot in back of the building as traffic moves quickly on Park Avenue West.

L Line train and the #43 bus will get you there.
