Each group worked on a map of one part of the proposed road design adding comments directly on the large diagram sheet that covered the table. After 20 min, all groups remaining the same, went to work at a different table which had a different section of the road
project. Staff later collected all sheets to compile. There was no group overall discussion at the setting nor after. What resulted is a list of disconnected ideas. It's a start for a consultation but it misses the connections so stronger and more complete picture can be derived. That's the important part.</div><div><br></div><div>I experienced it as another form of brainstorming, very similar to World Café. That may have been an adapted use of the method by the organizers, I am not sure. In my view, an OS is definitely
needed instead of or after such an exercise to get real collective intelligence.</div><div><br></div><div>Diane</div></div></div></div> </div> </div> </blockquote></div> </div></body></html>
