Benefits include simultaneous input, the ability to organize information into discrete, movable chunks, and the visual nature of the output.

To tap diverse perspectives and catalyze productivity and creative problem-solving, we need to design meetings (and projects) so <u>everyone</u> can participate fully, rather than just a few. When tackling complex challenges, voices from the edge are often critical to uncovering new insights and innovative approaches. Democratizing participation doesn't have to be all about controlling the dominant voices in a group; with careful planning and some simple tools, you can design any conversation so that everyone can contribute.
