Flow Tool «Write & Listen»
Allow for all perspectives in the team to be expressed in the shortest time and that everyone in the team gets time to think and equal time to speak.
Wenn nur jemand spricht, ist es schlecht für alle.
Why do we need this tool?
Meetings are often tedious. Some talk a lot and say little, the majority remain silent. The potential of the group is not utilized, important perspectives are not heard and the results are correspondingly unsatisfactory.
Many people therefore want fewer and shorter meetings: because the meeting is of no use to them or feels like a waste of time. However, the problem is not the meetings themselves, but the fact that the meetings are not designed in such a way that everyone is heard and can contribute.
This slows down the flow: for the individuals who feel superfluous in the meeting because they have nothing to contribute, for the topic that is discussed without all perspectives being heard, and for the whole group, which cannot act as a team and move projects forward together.
