Process organizers
Process organizers design workflows that allow for structured individual reflection between moments of discussion or learning.
Citizens' assembly organizers
Citizens' assemblies organizers design workflows that build social bonds between participants, before they've exchanged perspectives on the issue at hand, to help tackle cognitive biases or assumptions. They design individual reflection sessions and sometimes recommend asynchronous journaling to develop an individual's views further. They often facilitate epistemic skills-building exercises focused on identifying unconscious biases or training critical thinking, and reinforcing these exercises with reminders throughout the process. They also have a range of facilitation methods that create different settings or modes for expression, allowing participants to find a mode that suits them.
