  1. 1

    Write the meeting topic and the headers 'WHO?', 'WHAT?', 'WHEN?', 'WHERE?', and 'HOW?' across a large visible space.

  2. 2

    Distribute sticky notes and markers to all participants.

  3. 3

    Instruct participants to write down as many questions as they can think of under each header, starting with 'WHO?'. Allow five minutes per header.

  4. 4

    Participants post their questions under the respective headers.

  5. 5

    Volunteers cluster similar questions together under each header.

  6. 6

    Highlight the largest clusters and invite leadership to respond to the most common and interesting questions.

  7. 7

    Repeat the process for each of the remaining headers.

  8. 8

    Collect all questions at the end for further review by leadership.

Conseils

  • Encourage participants to be candid with their questions to maximize the value of this exercise.

  • Consider whether to allow leadership to interject throughout or save their responses for the end, depending on the group dynamics.

  • Summarize themes to help highlight areas of concern.

Variantes

You can conduct the process in two ways: clustering all questions first and then addressing them, or alternating between question collection and leadership responses. Choose based on the group's preference for uninterrupted question generation or ongoing interaction.
