Comment faciliter
Begin with a thematic introduction, setting the stage as though your team is managing a distributed power network.
Explain each column's purpose, ensuring participants understand the metaphor: energizing new ideas, cutting inefficiencies, and sustaining resilience.
Allow participants about 10 minutes to reflect and populate sticky notes in each column with their insights, all individually and quietly.
Invite the team to review the notes, starting with ⚡ Powering Up, discussing ideas and prioritizing the ones that seem impactful.
Proceed to đźš« Cut the Power, asking what inefficiencies stand out and confirming actions to reduce them as a team.
Conclude with 🔋 Energy Reserves, highlighting effective habits or setups and collectively reinforcing their importance.
Summarize findings and establish key takeaways or direct actions, assuring the conversation transitions smoothly into concrete planning steps.
Conseils de pro
Use creative prompts such as 'Imagine each task as needing its power line' to inspire engagement with the metaphor.
Encourage balance—ensuring not all focus lies in one column—to fully energize discussions.
Visualize energy distribution across the team's larger project roadmap for added context.
Remind participants that cutting power (removing inefficiencies) is as valuable as fostering energy.
Follow directly with an action plan based on discussion outcomes to keep momentum.
FAQ
How do I introduce this template to gain team buy-in?
Frame it creatively: compare each member's contributions to a regional power grid, sparking curiosity and engagement.
What if there are too many ideas in the ⚡ Powering Up column?
Cluster similar suggestions, prioritize impactful ideas collectively, and note lower-priority items for review later.
How to maintain focus on the energy metaphor?
Use analogies, remind participants about the power grid, and incorporate visuals like energy flow diagrams if possible.
