The Takeaway Bracket

BracketRemote or in person

Every idea from the day, narrowed to one by vote.

The host feeds in the ideas the session produced and the room votes them down to a single winner. It solves the real problem with a good workshop — that it ends with thirty ideas and no priority — and it does it in eight minutes with the room still present.

Run this when…

The situations it was built for. If none of these is the room you have, it is probably the wrong activity.

  • The end of a strategy day
  • A workshop that generated more ideas than it can act on
  • An innovation or ideation session

How it runs

Options pair off, the room votes, rounds narrow until one survives.

  1. 1You start a session and put the code on the big screen.
  2. 2Everyone joins on their phone — no app, no sign-up, just the code.
  3. 3You drive the pace from the host screen; the room answers as they go.
  4. 4Ending the session builds the report, with every answer in it.

Running it well

Only the host sees these. Participants never do.

  • Collect the entrants during the session, not at the end. Eight is the right number; sixteen drags.
  • The winner is the thing that gets an owner and a date before anyone leaves the room.
