Moderation mit Karten

The moderation technique is a group-based method to generate and analyze ideas to regulate the communication within a working group.
The method is used to collect, visualize and arrange the thoughts and ideas of multiple participants (big groups as well) by using cards.
The moderation technique even allows for the treatment of complex issues or design problems with sketches.

Procedure

Preparation: the problem is defined and presented by the group leader or moderator and may be visualized on the board.
Generation of ideas on cards: all participants write or sketch their ideas on cards.
