steps:
- headline: Call for hosts with questions
description: >-
Three or four participants volunteer as table hosts, each bringing a
real project or question they want input on. Each hosts one table
for the whole session.
- headline: First round — clarification
description: >-
Guests join a table. The host presents the question; guests ask
clarifying questions only, helping the host sharpen what they are
really asking.
- headline: Second round — wisdom
description: >-
Guests rotate to a new table. The host shares the clarified question
and what emerged; the new guests offer insights, experience, and
perspectives.
- headline: Third round — action
description: >-
Guests rotate again. The host now shares the clarified question and
accumulated wisdom; guests help identify concrete next steps and
commitments.
- headline: Harvest
description: >-
Table hosts share with the whole group what they received and what
they will do next. The harvest is recorded for all.
outcome: >-
Each host leaves with a clarified question, pooled wisdom, and concrete
next steps, drawn from three rounds of diverse input.
practice: >-
The rounds build — clarification, then wisdom, then action. If guests
jump to advice in round one, the question stays fuzzy. The host holds
the thread across all three rounds.
