Art of Harvesting
The harvesting is conducted by a harvesting team composed of individuals able to listen in, connect the dots, see patterns, synthesise and tell stories and visually represent the collective ideas, knowledge and feelings.
Harvesters are trained to listen out for the things being said as well as for things not being said. What are the key themes emerging in individual groups as well as across all the conversations? What are the emotions being displayed? How do conversations flow? Are people getting straight to the point or are they ‘tip-toeing’ around the issues? Are there any outliers, any rebellious and extreme ideas? Are people finding it easy or hard to talk about what they want for their future? Is there too much talk about problems rather than solutions? If there are disagreements, what are they about? Harvesters also look at relationship patterns: are there new friendships and /or collaborations being created in the room? Is there a feeling of trust and hope? Are people walking away with a changed perspective? Did people share and did you yourself experience any new insights? Interested to know more about harvesting?
