Feedback Carousel

A rapid peer feedback technique where participants rotate through giving and receiving structured feedback in short timed rounds. Each round is focused and brief (3–5 minutes). The carousel format ensures everyone receives feedback from multiple people and gives feedback to multiple people in a single session, making it highly efficient compared to traditional feedback processes.

Cómo ejecutarlo

1
Seat participants in two concentric circles: inner circle faces outward, outer circle faces inward (pairs face each other).
2
Define the feedback structure: e.g. 'One thing I appreciate about you' and 'One thing that would make you even more effective'.
3
Set a timer for 3–4 minutes. Each pair exchanges feedback.
4
When the timer rings, the outer circle rotates one seat clockwise. New pairs form.
5
Repeat for as many rounds as desired (6–8 rounds works well for a team of 12).
6
Debrief: participants write down the themes they heard across multiple feedback providers.

Consejos

Positive feedback first — always.
The structure must be clear before starting; vague feedback prompts produce vague feedback.
Encourage specificity: 'When you did X in last Tuesday's meeting, I noticed Y' is more useful than 'You're a good communicator.',

Variaciones

Run as a 'written carousel': participants write feedback on sticky notes as they rotate past each person's display. For remote teams, use breakout rooms with a rotation schedule.
