Leading Groups and Creating Content on Twennie

Prompt sets are structured collections of short, actionable learning tasks. They’re designed to be completed in small bursts of time... typically 20 minutes or less, and many take less than five minutes. They help teams build awareness, test ideas, and develop habits in a low-risk space. Twennie includes dozens of prompt sets covering a wide range of topics from proposal strategy to communication, leadership, and teamwork.

Twennie offers a full learning library that includes articles, videos, interviews, prompt sets, exercises, and templates — all are designed to create real change, in as little as 20 minutes at a time. But no team needs every unit. And no team should be expected to use everything on Twennie. The key is choosing well, based on your team’s capacity, momentum, and appetite for growth. Watch this video for tips on how to choose units strategically and make advantageous use of the adaptability built into every unit.

This 20-prompt set helps leaders assess their learning culture and plan for a change. The first five invite reflection on current norms and assumptions. The second imagines a future where skills and habits are stronger, and what that future could mean for the team and organization. The third moves into planning: how much time can be devoted to learning, and how should it be structured? Finally, the last section challenges leaders to take action, set the tone, and even contribute their own Twennie units.

Before building learning content, you need to understand what the organization truly needs. This prompt set guides a team of investigators through twenty questions covering operations, projects, clients, business development, communication, leadership, and future growth. Rather than relying on personal opinions, participants gather information from colleagues across the organization, looking for recurring frustrations, bottlenecks, missed opportunities, and areas for improvement.

Most organizations already possess valuable learning resources, but they are often scattered, undocumented, or known only to a few people. This prompt set guides an investigative team through a systematic search for existing knowledge assets throughout the organization. Participants identify useful documents, procedures, templates, lessons learned, presentations, onboarding materials, and subject matter experts who could contribute interviews, articles, videos, exercises, or other learning resources.

This prompt set guides an investigative team through the analysis of organizational needs and existing learning resources identified in two previous investigations. Participants organize findings, identify recurring themes, compare needs to available learning assets, assess support gaps, and evaluate priorities. Throughout the process, they compare portions of their analysis with AI-generated insights to challenge assumptions and uncover overlooked opportunities. Existing organizational resources and Twennie content are both considered.
