Ralph-- Sounds good to me. I think you just made this up, and it works.
For many years, in various types of facilitation, I have asked the group to list common themes. My followup on this is a bit like re-opening the space for action: I put the themes on flip charts, but instead of voting, just turn up a clean page and ask the group what they might want to do in response to these themes. Most groups will identify a manageable list of actions they would like to take, and can go on to take responsibilities. When I am asked to do something in one day, I generally work out with the client how we will have reports in the hands of participants by the end of the next business day. Just this in itself is a big surprise to people, one more way of signalling that this kind of meeting is something new.
