Welcome to the home of the Fresh Thinking Series, an innovative and evolving approach to grassroots quality improvement at Carleton University.
This community-based group is open to leaders at all levels and statuses (faculty, staff, management, casual, contract) looking to use a supportive environment to solve their challenges; help solve the challenges of others; and learn from their peers.
Involvement in The Fresh Thinking Series is voluntary for each and every employee of Carleton and can be done a number of ways:
- Monthly Meetings: The community meets at lunchtime on the last Tuesday of every second month from 12:00 – 1:30pm, with the last 30 minutes being a social mixer for those who wish to stay and chat. Meetings are organized by the Fresh Thinking Planning Group.
- Community Insights Blog: The Community Insights blog provides faculty and staff with a unique outlet for sharing stories, ideas and actionable insights that support our culture of continuous quality improvement.
- Online Networking: Connect with the community on LinkedIn via the Fresh Thinking Series – Carleton University. This group is open to Carleton University employees only and a free LinkedIn account is required to join.
- Quarterly Lunch Roulette: Sign-up to be connected with a random faculty or staff member. Grab coffee or lunch with someone new and learn about their contributions to the Carleton community.
- Twitter: Follow the Twitter feed of the Office of Quality Initiatives @CU_Quality. All posts are available online to view however you’ll need a Twitter account to tweet yourself.
