Hello. This is not necessarily a question for an Open Space meeting. It's just a question to find out what other people are doing in facilitating the process of prioritizing lists. I learned a quick and fun way to get a groups sense of their priorities by asking them to put the issues (goals, problems, etc) in the form of a metaphor such as a house for example. Like, what issue would be the foundation? The walls? and so on. The metaphor helps in the prioritization in that the issues that formed the foundation are usually important to tackle first, etc. Some fall backs to this could be the use of dots, /or developing criterion and probably 100 other ways. Or, there may be an issue that just pops up without any process.
But has anyone ever used a metaphor as a pathway to prioritizing. What images did you use besides a house or building of some kind? Thanks. Don Ferretti ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________
