Forced-Choice Stickers
Goal: Set priorities and reach agreement on next steps
Process:
-
List action steps on a large sheet of paper.
-
Distribute a set number of stickers (e.g., round signal dots) to each person.
-
Each person must demonstrate his or her priorities by “spending” the stickers, either distributing
them across options or weighting them on one or two choices.
-
After all group members have distributed their stickers, you will have a visual representation of the
group’s priorities.
Gallery Walk
Goal: Generate ideas as an adaptation of the Museum Tour
Process:
-
Pose a problem or question to the group as a whole.
-
Divide participants into subgroups to explore different perspectives of the problem.
-
Members of the subgroups can write, draw, diagram, and so on, their collective response to the problem or
question on a large piece of chart paper.
-
Post the chart paper on the walls around the room.
-
One member of each group stands by the group’s chart to act as an expert while course participants walk
around the room, read the charts, and ask questions about the information listed.
-
When group members complete their tour, they can take the place of the group members acting as experts to
ensure that everyone has an opportunity to see every chart.
