MItch Discovers the Magic of ORID: Facilitating Meetings with ToP Methods

Discovers the

Magicof ORID

I’m supposed to lead the next

committee meeting.

Mitch, how comeyou’re

dreadingit?

That meeting is a

complete waste of time.

The same few people do all

the talking – mostly complaining.

I don’t know how to

handle that stuff…

… so we can get our

work done. www.sierracircle.com

Mitch,

you need

the magic

of “ORID.”

Not a „who.‟

ORID is a

way I ask

questions in

a discussion…

…to get

participation

everyone,

even the

quiet ones.

We get to

the heart

of the

matter in a

time…

…without

getting

bogged down

in arguments

or getting

off topic.

different

perspectives

enrich the

discussion.

It’s based on

the way the

brain takes in

information,

makes sense of it,

and moves to action.

I simply ask

questions

in that

sequence

to guide the

conversation.

doesn’t

simple.

What’s

sequence?

Our brains process information in this sequence:

experience

emotion

thought

action

Like - waking up in the morning.

•You hear the alarm clock ring…

•You groan, roll over, feel tired & don’t want to get up…

•You get up, stagger to the bathroom & get ready for work - or not.

•You rememberthat you’re

driving car pool today.

people are

thinking at

different

levels.

Often in meetings

That’s one reason discussions circle around and never reach a conclusion.

I ask one or two questions at each of the four levels of thinking.

My questions require a different kind of thinking at each level.

Objective thinking-

Reflective thinking-

Interpretive thinking-

Decisional thinking-

experience

emotion

thought

action

That’s why we call it “ORID.”

This slowsdown the process and

we move

through it

together…

Here‟s an example I‟m using in a meeting today:

O level of thinking:

What areas of the office need attention?

R level of thinking:

What impact do the space problems have on your work?

I level of thinking:

What considerations and values should we use as we make plans for improvement?

D level of thinking:

What specific next steps do we need to take?

Mitch, come sit in on our meeting.

You’ll see how it works.

Later - -

Told you,

Mitch.

It’s like

magic!

Later - -

I took a Technology of Participation (ToP®) seminar.

ToP® methods make it easy to lead group discussions.

We don’t waste time.

We have productive meetings.

Everyone

participates

and our

meetings

are more
