Purposedifferent
When a workshop has produced too many options and the group needs to condense quickly, dot voting makes preferences visible in a short time. It bundles individual votes into a solid signal for the next selection.It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped.When loud voices could dominate a round, Nominal Group Technique protects individual thinking time from group effects. It collects ideas separately first and only then enables shared weighting.The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed.
