steps:
- headline: Set tables and a question
description: >-
Tables of four or five are set with paper tablecloths and markers. A
single overarching question is posed for all tables.
- headline: First round
description: >-
Participants converse at their starting table for twenty to thirty
minutes, writing and drawing key ideas on the tablecloth.
- headline: Rotate
description: >-
One person stays as "table host" while others disperse to new tables.
The host briefs newcomers on the prior conversation; a new round
begins.
- headline: Harvest
description: >-
After two or three rounds, the whole group gathers and tables share
emerging themes, patterns, and surprising insights.
outcome: >-
Ideas cross-fertilise across the whole group; collective intelligence
surfaces that no single conversation would have reached.
practice: >-
Keep the question open and juicy. The tablecloths matter — people who
doodle engage more deeply than those who only talk.
