Someone opens a matter to think about
Some don’t answer �- maybe question is unclear, maybe they need more thinking time?
Some answer
Ad-hoc thinking setup in teams
What are we
thinking a
bout?
Inputs might get lost
Difficult setup
for introverts

Improved setup: �Write down the matter to think about
With a written topic or question everyone knows what to think about
Ways to do this:
Just a topic �e.g. Sales situation Narrowing it down�e.g. Improving our sales situation A question�e.g. What can we do to spur sales?
Narrowed
down =
easy to co
me
with input

Standard for documenting inputs:�Taking notes on a flipchart
People utter their thinking
Someone is taking notes
“translatio
n” of
inputs might
cause irrit
ation
Linear setup = a lot of time for all inputs
Difficult setup
for introverts

Improved setup for gathering of inputs:�Hand out sticky notes and pen
Handing sticky notes and pen to each person at the table helps to overcome all issues with linear documenting by someone.
Only one thought per
sticky note
Descriptive & understandable

Setup without a person taking notes:�Put the matter to think about on the table
With a written subject in the middle of the table the thinking energy of the group stays focused.
Great to stop multitasking in a group!

Gathering of inputs – the pro setup
Use graphical organizers to sort inputs right away. In such a setup, everyone is asked to locate her/his sticky notes in the overall picture.
Saves a lot of time when jointly exploring inputs
