Yes, the middle is notes! I write small. ;-) Hi Serena – great question. Yes, the middle is notes! I write small. ;-)

Can you tell me what is recorded in the centre of the clock in each of the quadrants. Is this simply a place to record notes? Hi Nancy
It is difficult to see the images clearly – or big enough to read. Can you tell me what is recorded in the centre of the clock in each of the quadrants. Is this simply a place to record notes?

The beauty of the circle is that you can have people-specific notes on the fringes and group decisions / action items in the middle. The added benefit for online meetings is that it does help you visualize "who is in the room". I suspect if I dug into the research field of computer-supported cooperative work, I would find studies that showed this as an effective technique to build into online conferencing tools. Maybe someday all of the major online meeting tools will have something like this built in. Thanks for sharing this Nancy - see you at BGSU soon enough!

I have never thought of organizing thoughts from a phone conference this way. Every other month I have a conference call involving 20 people so many times it gets pretty confusing. I will suggest this to the president of our organization. This was a great idea! I have never thought of organizing thoughts from a phone conference this way.

Yes, indeed I have had people tell me that they find the technique incredibly useful and, like you, a distraction. That's the challenge of facilitation - what choices do you make that serve the group without alienating too many of the individuals within the group. I will often use the clock early in a series of calls, but let it drop off once we get our rhythm as a group. I think it also depends on the level of experience and comfort of the group in using a group telecon. As they say, your mileage may vary! Andy, it is always good to get different perspectives.
