Hey Community,
Â
Another month has passed which can only mean that it’s time for a new discussion of the month 🤗
Â
Close your eyes and try to remember the last time you had a productive team discussion. It’s not easy, right? Yet productive discussions are key to great meetings.
Â
That is why we’re focusing on driving productive discussions, this month.
Â
Here are some quick tips:
Â
📌 Get people talking from the beginning by running an icebreaker word cloud. Ask about a hot topic in the company. You can always moderate the responses.
Â
📌 Before jumping into the discussion, ask people to write down their opinions in an open text poll. If you don’t want participants to influence each other, hide the poll results.
Â
📌 To move the discussion forward, run a quick ranking poll and ask participants which options they would like to focus on. To understand how we calculate scores in ranking polls, check out our quick explainer.
Â

Now we’d love to hear from you!
