Preamble:
I asked the participants to brainstorm in small groups and produce suggestions for promoting success in the project that they were all being trained on.
Details:
In December 2004, sixteen diverse non-profit leaders used an early version of the Dotmocracy process to identify and prioritize issues and outline next steps at the conclusion of a two day national web portal project training workshop.
42 proposals were written and discussed
An average of 12 participants critically judged each proposal
30 unanimously accepted suggestions were recognized, 13 of which had strong approval
Conducted in a single 65 minute session, including instruction and debriefing
The steering committee was able to use the written results of the Dotmocracy process to generate a clear plan of action towards successful project roll-out.
The process used the original sticker version of the Dotmocracy sheets.
A staff member recorded the results and e-mailed them to the group.
