Use Dotmocracy

Use breakout groups and dotmocracy to make decisions in your big meetings.Get the New Dotmocracy Handbook

In the standard plenary format meeting the more people participating the less opportunity each person has to speak and the less chance you will find collective agreement on an ideal decision. Using breakout groups of 5-7 diverse people, everyone can participate in thoughtful dialogue and deliberation.

Use dotmocracy sheets to recognize agreement among all the participants across all the groups. With this format it is much easier to make more decisions as a group. Questions about mission, aims, objectives, project priorities, group policies, and strategic plans can be collectively answered using this process and thus creating a common base for cooperating effectively.
