MISSION CONTROL™ WORKSHOPS Conducted 1993-2000
About the
Trademark: We developed what turned out to be a very productive
way of conducting our brainstrorming workshops.
NOTE: About the
Trademark - ™
- These workshops work great for groups of 5-20 people
- Depending on the number of participants, after an introduction to the
overall topic and challenge for the workshop, we break up into 2 or 3
working groups. each with their own subtopic, 3-8 people each.
- After a couple of hours of group brainstorming (a leader at each round
table keeps notes, as well as gathers contact information), we meet as a
whole, and the leader from each group tells all the inevitably
surprising and exciting results each group has come up with.
Participants are amazed and delighted.
- After the leaders submit their reports, a write-up of the workshop is
published in Moon Miners' Manifesto and circulated to each of the
participants.
