At the company, I am a member of the working group that aims to implement machine translation as the company’s standard tool. Last week, the members discussed and evaluated several machine translation tools. We used Finnish facilitation skills for our discussion. First, individual thinking: We had decided on the evaluation format, then we tested these software and filled in our individual evaluation with comments. Finnish facilitator Pepe Nummi mentions if you jump directly into discussion, the first opinions tend to have an anchoring effect on new ideas and ideas tend to become similar. The individual stage help groups produce a more diverse set of ideas to begin with. So we followed his theory. Second, 3-person discussion: The working group consists of 6 persons, so we divided into 2 group (3 persons in each).We discussed what we had evaluated and those background in 1 hour, and created group evaluation.After that, we exchanged group evaluation, and finalized the evaluation. I found different way of thinking of each person during the meeting, and one idea affected to other ideas, and finally everyone can deeply understand the reason behind the evaluation. Again Facilitator Pepe mentioned Why group of three? Sometimes pair discussion just does not work. I have seen people working in pairs struggle to maintain conversation. When you have more than three participants the silent ones tend to drop out conversation and just fly under the radar. In groups of three you typically have enough diversity of ideas and shy or quiet people feel comfortable enough to participate without feeling overwhelmed. His theory was right again! I really respect his experience and his deep thoughts. In the end, we were able to complete the evaluation, which was thoroughly discussed by all members. At the moment I am reading Pepe’s book called Idealogue again. When I read this book, every time I find many important sentences and words to become hint in real business.
