Scanning the Environment
When planning it is a great idea for the group to get a good understanding of the 'environment' they will be operating in, from everyone's point of view. The environment scanning exercise allows participants top share observations and discuss external factors that could or should affect the future.
Using a large wall template the group brainstorms their ideas which are then graphically captured while to group discusses the observations.
The resulting graphic chart become a memory and discussion tool to inform the planning process.
