Re: Shared content in Zoom break outs


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Thanks Sean, Catherine again and Lucas

?

I need to look again at integrating with Google Docs given your input which is really helpful

?

Sean ¨C great questions.? It¡¯s not really a scatter-gather interaction across the whole organization for which co-ordinating and sense making across the groups would be important.? It¡¯s a strategy communication exercise in which local teams make sense of the bigger picture and develop their own plans aligned to the central direction.? But your questions highlight that at the local team level there is the need to make sense across the team what the smaller breakouts have discussed so that when the teams reconvene they share their conclusions and ideas.

?

We are working on the collection of recurring themes, questions and ideas that get discussed locally and how we can harvest these to inform the longer-term process.? We¡¯re planning to provide each team leader with a format for sharing outcomes from the local discussions.

?

Best wishes

?

Mike

Mike can you explain the interactions that you are trying to facilitate?

I second Catherine Borgman-Arboleda's suggestion of a Google Doc over chat although chat has advantages in certain situations (e.g. show me immediately the most recent note / thought).?

?

Two questions:

1. If I am in a breakout room listening to the conversation and contributing to the note taking (or curation of notes) in a Google Doc when do I look at the other Google Doc (or other chat streams) and why.

2. Are you trying to create observation points (portholes) to look at the entire set of interactions or for a group leader to loosely monitor the interactions taking place in the breakouts?

?

This looks like a "scatter-gather" where you are enabling a rich variety of conversations around a pre-planned set of topics. Your quesitons are focused on the "scatter"? piece -- getting the word out or the context for the distributed group conversations.

What are your needs on the "gather" side - how do you plan to bring back the results of the group conversations into to 2-4 tiers of summary conversations so that subgroups, leadership team, and the full set of employees can make sense of it?

Hi - I wonder if anyone can help?? I'm designing a meeting process in which team leaders will send their teams into breakout rooms.? There will be approx 5 breakout rooms per team and in each break out I want the smaller groups to be able to see shared content - at the moment this is likely to be one PPT slide that includes imagery and questions.? The content for each of the breakouts will be different. ?

At the moment I'm thinking of giving the team leader instructions to post the different content in chat so that the different subgroups can download their image and questions before they go into break out rooms.? This means everyone in the break out will have the content on their screens while they meet.

But is there another way of organizing for the content to be in the break out rooms so that the attendees can arrive in the breakouts and immediately see their content via a pre-loaded whiteboard or some other such device?? Has anybody done anything like this?? We're organizing this across 4,000 employees so there will be some 250 teams involved and I'd like to make the process as simple as possible for the team leaders.? Many thanks in anticipation if anyone has any good ideas....
