Consensus-Building in Second Workshop.
After sorting questions into each group (10–12 participants and a facilitator) are allotted 90 minutes to select the questions most pertinent to the node. The group then rotates to the next node.
Fig 2.
The facilitator stays with the same node throughout the day and discloses results and insights from previous groups’ discussion with each new group. For example, Group 1 works through the list of biodiversity and community ecology questions with the help of a facilitator. Group 2 then works with the same question list but is able to interact with Group 1’s ideas (but not vice versa) through the facilitator. Group 3 works with the original list again but is exposed to compounded ideas from Groups 1 and 2 through the facilitator, and so on until each group has an opportunity to discuss all six nodes.
