Multivoting Technique
ConceptAbout
Multivoting is a collaborative decision-making technique used by groups to prioritize a large list of options or ideas. It allows each member to cast multiple votes across different items, enabling a collective ranking of preferences. This method is particularly useful after brainstorming sessions when a long list of ideas needs to be narrowed down. Multivoting ensures that every participant has an equal say, promoting inclusivity and reducing personal biases. The process involves generating a list of options, discussing each item to ensure clarity, and then allocating votes. Participants can distribute their votes as they see fit, either spreading them across multiple options or focusing on a single item. The votes are tallied, and items are ranked based on the number of votes received. This technique helps groups reach a consensus by highlighting the most favored options, making it a valuable tool for strategic planning, project management, and team building.
