Group Voice

Imagine each different TAPgroup having a different and unique voice.

The group voice is NOT generated by a committee or a select set of more powerful leaders of the group.

With TAPcollab the group voice is generated automatically with a mathematical algorithm -

• combining equally the input of each member.

There are two group voice types:

• 1) Ongoing - continually changes in time

• 2) Need now - for final decision & action

Any work-in-progress group voice can change at any moment in time -

• as new members join and old members leave

• or whenever anyone submits their personal input data -

  • initial input

  • or follow-up changes.

ALL group voices establishes group identity -

• even skipping opportunities to co-create particular voices helps establish group ID.

Group voice is how group's:

• plan

• decide things

• take next step action

• set rules

• communicate:

  • both internally with all group members

  • and externally to the rest of the world.

Like most everything done with TAPable, group voice is established by engaging in TAP case-lists.

• Sometimes a single case-list establishes the voice.

• Often times a series of case-lists is required to get to the desired output product -

  • be it decision, rule or action.

Now jump back to the auditorium 'you' sit in...

• You are all there to learn more about TAP.

• As one group with one group voice -

  • you will all decide together how this particular group will tackle all the possibility TAP includes.

• The group will make step-by-step next-step decisions without any one person having more power than anyone else.
