In the last Toolkit, we looked at a basic card system (green, yellow, red) for collecting data around the opinions and perspectives “in the room.” This tool—the Soft Shoe Shuffle—is another way to gauge the temperature of both the individual participants and the collective as to what is happening in the group. This tool can be used to surface the opinions, emotions, and perspectives in the group, to understand the reasons behind them and how widely they are shared, and to shed light on what’s happening under the surface in the system as a whole.
