We do rounds a lot too, partly because we don't seem to have many other tools in our toolkit. I have two basic problems with rounds: It's almost impossible to have a linear conversation about anything, because the subject changes from moment to moment, person to person. Yes, I know, we all get our feelings out, we bond with each other, ideas may gel in a creative way that doesn't happen if you go by the topic numbers, 1, 2, 3 ... but I still miss linear conversations sometimes. We scramble the starting position of the rounds, but it doesn't help: I can watch the circled people deflate and inflate, and re-conceptualize their own speaking, according to who said what before them. In the end, I sometimes get to hear what people think, but other times get to hear only what they think is safe to say. Pro-active facilitation and the Delphi Method could get us over some of these humps. I think we need more tools.
