List the ideas on a flipchart or whiteboard.

2. Walk through each item and ask the group, "What level of influence do we have?"

3. Continue until all items are ranked.

4. List all the items from 10 to 1 on the board.

5. We want to decide which of the items on which we have influence we want to work on.

6. Ask the group, We have total influence on 10 and 0 no influence what so ever. At what levels of influence do we want to put our energies into?"
