voting - after coming home from an OST-meeting

[Harrison Owen]

Thomas – the voting procedure I used (which is also in my book) was actually
taken from Andrew Delbec and the so called Nominal Group Process. It uses a
weighted score (assign 10 to your highest, 9,8,7 etc) When this is done on a
computer, which we have done, it is very simple and efficient. And with the
software we used, the results came out as bar graphs, which made all the
engineers very happy. The details, as I said are in The User’s Guide.

Subject: voting - after coming home from an OST-meeting

 

Dear friends in Open Space       

I am having discussions with a friend of mine who runs a company which does
surveys for companies in a quite interesting and easy way – by using
Internet. In September I will facilitate an OST-meeting with about 350
people – only 5-6 hours. I would like to try letting the participants have
the documentation sent and allowing time for reading before voting on which
are most important to them. 

 

A couple of times I´ve let participants answer via email – which of course
is a lot of work. So in order to do one less thing I´d like to try this
software which we very easily can modify to meet our needs.

 

My question is: What recommendations/ideas do you have for the voting. When
I use stickies in physical voting (which I´ve done with quite large groups)
I usually give them something like 5 votes to use as they like – all five on
one issue or spread out. This could be one alternative for this software
too. I know some of you let people put 10 votes on the top one, 9 on the
second most important and so on until 1. 

 

So I would appreciate pros and cons that you see/have experienced about
these methods and any other suggestions.

Warmest regards
