Acting on and completing Trickles is one of the best ways Champions can demonstrate to peers on the Trickle platform that their ideas and concerns are being heard.
We like to use the framework below when acting on and completing a Trickle:
Thank the person who raised the Trickle
Acknowledge how important/ valuable a discussion it is/has been
Summarise the main points raised and any outcomes agreed
Invite further discussion via any meetings/ forums which will be taking place
Encourage anyone who might benefit from further one-to-one support to reach out directly or via the resources mentioned in the Trickle
Below we show you how you can act on and complete a Trickle on your desktop or your mobile phone.
Acting on and completing a Trickle on Desktop
Act Now
When you see a Trickle you feel able to act on, you can select the option to Act Now. You can then type what action you are taking to progress the Trickle and select ‘Lets do it’. Doing this lets people know you've seen the Trickle and are working on it. Your update will be visible in the comments section and people will be able to follow the journey of that Trickle through to completion.
Complete a Trickle
When you're satisfied you have reached a resolution and are ready to complete the Trickle you simply click on the Trickle you wish to view in either the activity feed or in Champions Hub, and click 'Complete'. In the text box type why you think the Trickle is complete and select 'Ok'. Your proposal for completion will be put to vote and people following the Trickle will be notified.
Assign a Trickle
If you feel there is a Champion with the right skill set or is best suited to resolve a particular Trickle you have the option to assign them that Trickle. The Champion will be notified right away that they’ve been assigned to a Trickle.
To do this, click on the Trickle, then click on the 3 vertical dots on the right-hand side and select 'Assign Champion' from the drop down. From here click on or search for the name of the Champion you'd like to take ownership of the Trickle.
Skip 'Act Now' and 'Complete' Trickle straight away
This is useful for Trickles that don't require discussion or updates. In the video below Kate assigns the Trickle to herself which immediately gives her the option to 'complete' the Trickle instead of 'acting' on it and providing updates.
Voting
People have 7 days to vote on a Trickle that has been completed. Followers can choose 👍 or 👎. For the Trickle to be successfully closed, the positive votes need to be more than or equal to the number of negatives votes. If a completion proposal isn’t accepted, the Trickle will remain open and more discussion and updates can take place.
