Doing it all in one day?

[Joelle Lyons Everett]

Ralph--

Sounds good to me.   I think you just made this up, and it works.

For many years, in various types of facilitation, I have asked the group to 
list common themes.   My followup on this is a bit like re-opening the space 
for action:   I put the themes on flip charts, but instead of voting, just turn 
up a clean page and ask the group what they might want to do in response to 
these themes.   Most groups will identify a manageable list of actions they 
would like to take, and can go on to take responsibilities.

When I am asked to do something in one day, I generally work out with the 
client how we will have reports in the hands of participants by the end of the 
next business day.   Just this in itself is a big surprise to people, one more 
way of signalling that this kind of meeting is something new.
