‘Note’ and ‘Vote’ are two exercises that are at the core of every great workshop, and they can be applied to so many situations to help you collaborate on answering any question, prioritize challenges, and ideate solutions.
Instead of spending so much time trying to brainstorm in a meeting by talking, discussing, and trying to agree on something, everyone ideates in simultaneously on sticky notes, then votes simultaneously using red dots, and you end up with a mass of ideas prioritized based on the team’s votes — all in 10 minutes!
If you’re just starting out with remote facilitation or even facilitation in general, there’s no better place to start than with a Note & Vote Micro-Workshop. It’s easy, it’s short (10-15 mins), and it’s effective.
