Steps

Formulating a bold question

Give the participants some time to prepare their core questions concerning their project/enterprise. The more concrete the questions are, the greater impact the answers will have.

Present your Case

One participant steps forward and briefly describes their case (which can be a project, an enterprise, an initiative...). At the end of the presentation, they ask 1 to 3 core questions, that they are working on and where help is needed.

Write Feedback

The audience is now asked to write down all the helpful hints, suggestions, and ideas that come to mind on post-its, in response to the question(s) of the presenter. These helpful hints could be: contact details of a potential helper, a recommendation of a book or film, etc. The facilitator gives the audience about 5-10 minutes. Trust and follow your intuition. If there is no writing any more, you can finish the round.

PostOrama!

Each audience member steps forward, saying aloud the idea on their post-it, and sticks the post-it either on the presenter's poster or on the presenter themselves! Keep it moving fast.

Next Presenter

Rotate through the group, repeating the process until everyone who wants has had an opportunity to present their case.

Harvest

At the end the presenter keeps all the post-its.
