We need to work together on this situation: an arts organisation wants interns but wants to avoid exploiting young workers. What would you like to ask me first?
Jawaban yang bagus:
My first question would be about evidence, not preferences. In this situation, an arts organisation wants interns but wants to avoid exploiting young workers. I would ask who is most affected among the people most affected, what has already been tried, and what constraint cannot be ignored. Without that, we might choose a neat solution that does not address independence and opportunity in practice.
One possible response is fewer paid internships. What advantages and problems do you see with that idea?
Jawaban yang bagus:
That option has a clear attraction, because people can understand it quickly. Fewer paid internships could work if the main need is structure and quick implementation. My concern is giving opportunities mainly to people who already have support. Before supporting it, I would ask who might avoid it, who pays for it and how we would know whether it improves the situation rather than just making action visible.
Another option is more short unpaid shadowing places. How would you compare the two options?
Jawaban yang bagus:
I would compare them by asking which risk is more acceptable. Fewer paid internships seems stronger where the problem needs clear rules, while more short unpaid shadowing places may be stronger where people need confidence, privacy or ownership. I would choose the option that is more likely to produce a fairer result in this situation.
Some people involved may disagree with your preferred option. How would you persuade them or adapt the plan?
Jawaban yang bagus:
I would not try to win the discussion by repeating my preference. If their concern was reasonable, I would change the plan rather than treat compromise as weakness. For example, we could pilot the option, publish the review criteria and agree in advance what evidence would make us change direction.
What final recommendation would you make, and what should happen next?
Jawaban yang bagus:
My final recommendation would be conditional. I would probably choose more short unpaid shadowing places if it deals better with giving opportunities mainly to people who already have support, but I would keep one practical strength from fewer paid internships. Next, I would assign responsibility, consult the least heard group and set a short review against a fairer result in this situation.
