ORID Discussion Method
Use your own questions. Those below are just to give a sense of what the discussion category relates to.
Objective (What):
 | What words or phrases do you remember from the presentation? |
| What are some key ideas or images in the presentation? |
Reflective (Gut):
| Where were you surprised? |
| What was a high point of the presentation for you? |
Interpretive (So What?):
| What were the presenters saying? What was it about? |
| What issues does this dialogue bring up for you? |
| What are some of the deeper questions we could explore? |
Decisional (Now What?)
| What can we do here about these issues? What actions can we take? |
| What would be our first step? |
ORID is part of The Institute of Cultural Affairs ToP® Technolgy of Participation.
