Cómo ejecutarlo

  1. 1

    Present all generated ideas or options on a wall using post-it notes, ensuring one idea per note.

  2. 2

    Cluster similar ideas together and remove any duplicates for clarity.

  3. 3

    Review all options with the group to confirm understanding, inviting any clarifications needed.

  4. 4

    Each participant receives 5 dots to vote with, which can be distributed flexibly across the options.

  5. 5

    After voting, options with the most dots can be selected directly or discussed further to explore the results.

Consejos

  • Watch for vote splitting where similar ideas may dilute votes, affecting the outcome.

  • Be mindful of the bandwagon effect; votes placed later may be influenced by earlier votes.

  • Consider using alternative methods for prioritization if complex discussions arise.

Variaciones

Dotmocracy can be adapted for remote voting using digital platforms that allow for similar dot-based selection.
