Wortkarg

Situation: Kooperationsstörungen in der Gruppe. Man geht zu wenig aufeinander ein. Jeder denkt nur an sich. Der Reihe nach sagt jeder nur ein Wort. Nach und nach entwickelt entwickelt sich eine Geschichte.

Caravan

You can quickly and effectively get and give help in a diverse group, organization, or community. Caravan gets rid of long large-group presentations and replaces them with several concise consultations made simultaneously to group members that have asked for help with a challenge.


A few individuals set up stations where they share a challenge and a consultation question. Often the challenge is directly or obliquely shared by others in the group. As small groups of consultants move from one station to another, their size makes it easy for people to connect with the client and visa versa. Clients learn how to ask productive questions and consultants learn how to be more effective coaches.

With Caravan everyone can quickly learn how challenges are being addressed and how new approaches might be adapted to their own situations.
