One idea enters the circle. The group builds it together, one sentence at a time. Every statement begins with "Yes, and..."
Every meeting deserves a plan. Note that a great plan can’t guarantee a great outcome, but it will help lay down the fundamentals from which you can adapt. Sketch out these fundamentals by using the 7Ps framework.
Most of us are familiar with brainstorming—a method by which a group generates as many ideas around a topic as possible in a limited amount of time. Brainstorming works to get a high quantity of information on the table. But it begs the follow-up question of how to gather meaning from all the data. Using a simple Affinity Diagram technique can help us discover embedded patterns (and sometimes break old patterns) of thinking by sorting and clustering language-based information into relationships. It can also give us a sense of where most people’s thinking is focused
Asking listeners to summarize your presentation from time to time is a good technique for encouraging people to listen carefully, take notes, and to review the content. Best Summaries uses this basic concept.
Some of the best ideas are compilations from multiple contributors. Brainwriting is a simple way to generate ideas, share them, and subsequently build on them within a group. Access to multiple hands, eyes, and minds can yield the most interesting results.
Used as a post-session follow up or multiple session activity, participants share their action plan or project success. Results can be posted and discussed on a shared network or brought to a later live session (such as a review session or informal group catch up).
Met een CLD maken studenten inzichtelijk welke factoren van invloed zijn op een probleem.
Een Causal Loop Diagram is vaak onderdeel van een uitgebreidere toekomstverkenning. Lees de oefening Scenario-analyse voor een overzicht van alle opdrachten die hier onderdeel van uitmaken.
Als voorbereiding op een projectplan of toekomstverkenning kunnen studenten hun probleem eerst doorgronden met een Causal Loop Diagram (CLD). Dit diagram kan worden gebruikt als wetenschappelijke basis voor een verder analyse en uitwerking.
Vaak wordt het maken van een CLD tijdens een werkgeroep gekoppeld aan een schrijfopdracht waarbij studenten de verdere analyse zelfstandig uitwerken.
