Standard Conversation
Organize participants into five groups. Ask one person to be the anchor of each group. That person will remain at the table and facilitate the
conversation. That person will also take notes and be responsible for summarizing the conversation at the end.
We will type up the ideas for all groups and post the IBMA website.
Participants will move five times (won’t get to one group) and discuss the question at hand for seven minutes.
At the start of each switch have the anchor summarize the conversation from the group before it – this will help keep the conversation evolving, deepening, and expanding with new ideas.
