Nominal Group+Method

Advertise group meeting of 3 to 4 hours.
Select participants to ensure a mix of interests/community groups/social levels/age/gender, etcetera.
Hire facilitator skilled in nominal group meeting process. Success of the process depends on thorough preparation by the facilitator.
Leaders should clarify the questions to be asked, considering what key information they need. Pretest the question before the meeting. Remember, global questions stimulate global answers. Emotional (likes/dislikes, etc.) information must be asked for directly.
For larger groups, organise into subgroups (seven to nine people) on the same or different topics, depending on the range of issues.
The facilitator should follow the full step-by-step process, which can include the silent generation and balloting of ideas used strategically in a wide variety of situations and taking relatively little time, eg, for quick agenda setting.
Choose from the following steps, and follow the process (see: http://128.143.238.20/services/CSA/nominal.htm for detailed instructions):

Silent generation of ideas in writing (10 - 20 minutes)
Recorded round-robin listing of ideas on chart (20 - 40 minutes).
A very brief discussion and clarification of each idea on the chart (20 - 40 minutes).
Preliminary vote on priorities: silent, independent (10 minutes).
Meeting break
Discussion of the preliminary vote (20-40 minutes).
Final vote on priorities: silent independent (10 minutes).
Listing and agreement on prioritized items.

The Bohm Dialogue, especially Collective Reflection has significance for me in terms of artistic critique and dialogue.

If one wanted to connect this to Jungian thought I'd relate to that.
