Quaker Conversation
Quaker Conversation is a structured method designed to ensure all voices in a group are heard equally, preventing dominant personalities from overshadowing quieter members. It is particularly useful for gathering diverse perspectives and avoiding groupthink in creative or ideation sessions.
Come eseguirlo

Encourage thorough expression of each viewpoint without interruption.

Optionally, record key ideas on a whiteboard to facilitate a focused follow-up discussion.
Suggerimenti
Emphasize the importance of not interrupting or debating others' responses to maintain the method's integrity.
Encourage participants to take notes on what resonates with them for a richer follow-up discussion.
Variazioni
For larger groups, consider breaking into smaller circles to ensure everyone has ample time to speak. Alternatively, use this method as a starting point, then transition to open discussion once all voices have been heard.
