Skills-first workflows

By choosing the skills required in your workflows, you take politics out of hiring, remove divisons between training and doing, and create qualified labor markets for your mission.

Learn about creating and requiring a Skillset and Skillset Path.

Document-based business

We believe in making your computer look and feel like real paper. Running your business should feel natural; through reading and changing documents, and not like fighting apps.

On potluck, as the reader, you choose how information is displayed across the platform. Control your computer, and cruise between sources with consistency.

Target and share relevant information with Custom Directory Views.

Don't "todo too much"

Project management apps can feel burdensome and bureaucratic. Managing the app can take just as much time as doing the actual work.

We're driven to support your offline work. Instead of doing everything on Potluck:

• Use skills-first workflows to supervise onboarding into new roles.

• Give someone credit for offline work by submitting an Activity Report, awarding Confirmed Completions towards their Skillset Paths.

• Review and improve business logic.

Better template documents

Managing Google Docs for every project can get tedious, error-prone, and expensive.

Potluck Templates turn your documents into workflows. You can choose to keep your word processor, and use Templates to automate important tasks.

Lead your market and community

Share skills-first workflows with suppliers, customers, employees and neighbors to educate and inspire.

Lead your clients

Potluck is great for consultants. Tailor your programs for each of your clients, and navigate between client workspaces with consistency.

Promote your students

Students want to do what is relevant. Instead of publishing a book or video series, skills-first workflows are an opportunity for students to use and iterate on your business logic.

Build a working environment that not only shares content with students, but can be influenced by your students.

Empathy Circles on Potluck Action Meetings

We're proud to support the revolutionary Empathy Circle Strategy on Potluck Action Meetings.

In an Empathy Circle, you use your own words to describe what the Speaker communicated to you. When you miss a part of what the speaker says, then they can try again until you're both on the same page.

This unassuming strategy turns out to be way more fun, dynamic, and productive than conventional meetings on video conference. Empathy Circles make it feasible to facilitate contentious meetings without professional mediators, boosting opportunities for change management.

Unlike other change management systems, Empathy Circles are simple, ride like a bike, and don't need committments to be effective. Your organization could choose to do empathy circles daily or annually, and it'll still work.

Don't knock it 'til you try it. 14-day free trial.
