Minority wisdom is valuable knowledge or perspective held by a smaller portion of a group. Collaborative modeling protects it by creating space for alternative perspectives, even when they compete with speed or completeness. section 3.2.2
EventStorming with a large group
More than ten people work on one timeline. Splitting participants between pivotal events improves progress, but may exclude minority perspectives. Reconvene everyone roughly every 30 minutes, walk through the central timeline, and ask, “Who can somewhat relate to this?” Use those responses to bring overlooked perspectives into subgroup work. section 3.2.2
Use minority wisdom without abandoning forward movement:
- Create different groups between pivotal events to maintain progress. section 3.2.2
- Converge regularly as a full group to review the timeline centrally. section 3.2.2
- Invite people who recognize or relate to part of the discussion. section 3.5
- Discuss conflicts with the entire group rather than hiding competing perspectives. section 3.5
