Running a workshop
Ketso Facilitation ExerciseAims of the session
• For each of you to have a taster experience of managing a Ketso process.
• To share some tips from our experiences of facilitating a wide range of Ketso workshops and meetings.
Ketso Facilitation Exercise
• Each person will lead a 20 minute Ketso session at their table
• You will be provided with the ‘workshop plan’ and have a little time to prepare your branches and centerpiece
• During the exercise you will be responsible for asking the questions, keeping time, and guiding your participants through the process.
• FYI – it can be harder to facilitate a small group at a table than a larger group, so this experience will stand you in good stead!
Ketso Facilitation Exercise
• Aim to achieve the following
– Manage your time to cover all the stages in the time available (20 mins)
• For this exercise we suggest asking people to write only 1-3 key ideas for each stage
– Keep participants engaged in ‘Think then Share’ rather than just discussion

Ketso Facilitation – What’s Important?
• Good clear introductions
Ketso Facilitation – What’s Important?
• Good clear introductions
– Ketso is simple, but it doesn’t always seem that way to people seeing it for the first time

• Good clear introductions
– Ketso is simple, but it doesn’t always seem that way to people seeing it for the first time.
– A good way to help people to be comfortable with using Ketso is to use it for warm up exercise. Explaining about writing on leaves is much harder than just doing it.

Ketso Facilitation – What’s Important?
• Good clear introductions
• Balance of individual thinking and group discussion
Ketso Facilitation – What’s Important?
• Good clear introductions
• Balance of individual thinking and group discussion
– This is a key difference that makes the difference between Ketso and less structured approaches
Ketso Facilitation – What’s Important?
• Good clear introductions
• Balance of individual thinking and group discussion
– This is a key difference that makes the difference between Ketso and less structured approaches
– We refer to this as ‘Think then Share’ and we find that this idea bears repeating often – a natural tendency is for groups to drift into discussion led by the usual suspects

– We refer to this as ‘Think then Share’ and we find that this idea bears repeating often – a natural tendency is for groups to drift into discussion led by the usual suspects
– It can be difficult to get people to co-operate with ‘Think then Share’ if they are already in the swing of just discussing things. So it’s important to establish it as the way things work right from the start.

Overview of the Day
• Planning a workshop (applied to your contexts)• Introduce BASICS• 3:00- 3:15 - Break• Apply BASICS to planning your own workshops
• Solve each other’s problems• Practicalities and packing up• Review and reflect
• 4:30 - End
Planning a Ketso Workshop
Basic structure of a Ketso workshop
• A series of questions asked in sequence, using the coloured leaves for different questions
• Plus the 'trunk', the core focus, which is written on the centrepiece, and (often) 'branches', which give themes to help structure the workshop.
The most commonly used Ketso Seed
The core Ketso Seeds
• Look forward & Plan• Review & Reflect• Discuss & Share• Learn - Beginnings• Learn - Review
Very slight variation on Look forward Seed – for looking backwards
Useful for asking for feedback (e.g. of project or strategy) as well as general exploration of ideas
Start with what people know – and help them to relate that to what you are teaching
Useful after a training session or a course, focus on content / skills & what to do with them
Which seed?
• Which seed from the hand outs in front of you seem to be the most useful?
• Do you need to adapt them?• There are a few adaptations for specific context
shown on your hand outs as examples.

Developing branches: has it done before?
Developing branches: is there a good report / ideas from a strategy you can use?
Developing branches: is there a widely used framework out there?
And yes, googling is a good place to start!
• No slides for the stages of this workshop• You can do it, but it is nice to have the slides! • And you can download them from the website and
adapt them to your needs
Developing branches: talking to the people you are working with
Developing branches: do a practice workshop with blanks (& always a good idea to test your branches)
Developing branches: refine and develop over time
Where to go for more help – a guide to resources under ‘Make the most of your Ketso’
Which branches?
• Is there a branch set that will work for your workshop?
• Brainstorm branches onto comments cards• If there is time – do a little test, what sorts of ideas
are likely to come up? • Do they fit? • How do the branches structure your thoughts? • Is there anything missing?
A few more hints on branches
• We do tend to find that 6 branches works well • And don’t forget to leave at least one blank
branch! • And don’t forget to leave at least one blank
branch!• There are spare branches on the back, you can
add as you go along• It can be nice to have a floating branch for things
that don’t fit
• You may have to adjust as you go along
Facilitation reminder
• Remember to unfold the branches after people have started with leaves• People develop their ideas before they see structure• Then see how their ideas fit with your structure
• You may have to reassure people that it is OK if their ideas don’t fit • Can they develop some now that do fit?• Do you need a new branch / different branches?
• Compare your experience of the first practice workshop and the mini Ketso facilitation exercises
