Re: A challenge/opportunity


 

If I were limited to those tools, (and I don't know thoughtexchange). I would end up focusing on Google Docs as a shared "wiki like page" and use it to drive the conversation and the process.?

I would use the google doc to create a flow for the meeting.?

I would probably use one google doc, because getting people to switch around and write ends up being a mess.?
People get lost.?

Zoom supports up to 50 break out rooms.

that would give you rooms of 6.?

Ideally, you would have the email addresses of everyone ahead of time, so that you could provide them we prepatory emails ahead of time, and so that you could bulk upload room assignments.?

Part of the goals would be to get people to meet other people. It would be great if you can to multiple sessions of going in to breakout rooms, work on a question for a bit, and then report out things. Part of the process would be to have people in the shared document editing the meeting notes. To get this to work, it can be very useful to have participants who have been engaged as note takers/facilitators etc in each room.?

Since I can't figure out how to get zoom to truely randomize the rooms, I have to change the size of the rooms to make different people end up in different rooms.?

But the ebb and flow from large group to small group and back with a standout is a pattern that has worked for me.

It is not clear to me that you want to do this as one big meeting with everyone there all the time, but rather I would wonder if having many small meetings which are then tied together in a string would be a useful way for people to get to know each other and to express thoughts.?

If you want interaction, you have to make it small group interaction (below 25, preferably below 8). If you want broadcast, then this does not matter and you can broadcast. I would consider how to do this as a series rather than one big event in 90 minutes.?

I have an opportunity to connect online with the entire employee base (300 people) of a newly amalgamated ?organization for 90 minutes. This can be used as the launch of a process to develop a set of organizational values. The tools I have at my disposal are Zoom Meetings, Google Docs and ThoughtExchange.

Any and all wild ideas, thoughts, suggestions and accumulated wisdom on design ideas will be most appreciated.? Unfortunately, the tools I mentioned above are the only ones available for this session. No Miro, Mural, or other platforms . . .
