Peggy, I love how you explained your observations and experiments and
adaptations over time *for the particular culture you were working
with* and I also love that we can never assume that academics or
financial departments or police persons or engineers are always going
to need extra / adaptations / 'help'.
I know that some groups and cultures seem a little harder to work with
in dialogue / non-linear / participatory processes but I have also
made the mistake of assuming they were that way and have laughed at
myself afterwards for my cultural assumptions - when the next similar
group I work with acts completely differently.
Either way - I find it always works when the task / reason / theme is
meaningful to the group.
I love facilitating these participant-driven dialogue methods because
I can learn so much by shutting up ;o) and being amazed and later - by
reading their Books of Proceedings to learn what they are passionate
about...
