Think-Pair-Share
A structured discussion technique from educational practice. Participants first think individually about a question (Think), then discuss with a partner (Pair), then share insights with the larger group (Share). It ensures all voices are heard, helps introverts contribute, and surfaces ideas before premature group convergence.

Conseils
The Think phase is the most often skipped — don't rush it.
Individual reflection before discussion dramatically improves the quality and diversity of ideas.
For remote teams, use breakout rooms for the Pair phase.
Variantes
Extend to Think-Pair-Square-Share: pairs join into groups of four before full group share. Run Think-Pair-Share as a mid-session energiser between content blocks.
