The Tweet

A way to quickly review/recap the facilitation session. It provides a quick way for the group to look back on the session and recap what the session has been like. It also provides a way for people to see how others in the group experienced the session.

Status: under development

Primary nature of group task: Evaluation

Time:

preparation: 0 mins

Time required during session: 15 mins

Follow up time: 0 mins

Materials: Post-it notes or some other piece of paper, and a pen.

Roles: Facilitator to introduce the exercise and GMB participants (possibly in groups depending on available time)

Steps:

1. Every participant (or group of participants) receives a piece of paper and pen.
2. They are asked by the facilitator to review or recap their GMB session based on their experience in 140 characters.
3. The facilitator says: “You are not allowed to exceed 140 characters, so be creative!”
4. The facilitator sighs and says: “Yes I know the tweet limit is 280 characters”
5. The participants, after 5-10 mins read out their tweets to the rest of the group.

Evaluation Criteria:

• Participants have made a small overview of their session, a recap.

• Participants have gotten an indication of the experiences of the others.

• The participants have recapped the session and are reminded of the session allowing them to think about what was discussed after the session.

Authors: Made into a script by Sebastiaan Buskens

History: This script was used in a workshop by NRG Prof. A company that does consultancy for energy companies.

Revisions: none

References: none

Notes:

• This activity is great when a follow up session will be done. The review will allow participants to be more actively involved in the happenings of the session going into the next.

• At around more than 6 people it will probably be best to divide the group into sub-groups for time management. This can be done based on their stakeholder affiliation or on other categorization.

• This script is supposed to be light and fun to do after an intense session of GMB. It relieves tension and creates a build up towards the next session.
