Checkpoint and Introduce The Next Phase Ask the participants to sit back down and stop talking for a short time. Ask for feedback or questions about the task. “It looks as though you’ve all got some great ideas up there, and it sounded like you had fun and I love the energy”! “This was just the first step of 3.

They will have been standing up for most of the session, which for some people is a long time so, invite them to take a seat for this check-in session. Check whether they felt they had enough time and feel they got the whole ‘journey’ complete. If there is more than one group and only one of them didn’t complete their process/journey, that’s fine. We will be consolidating the ideas. If you are working with one group, then you will need to give them more time to complete the process/journey.
