Ignite: Cheat Codes from Occupy
summary
Claims that a set of simple hand signals and a rotating facilitator reliably cut meeting times in half by replacing long debates with parallel signaled feedback. Tools used are explicit: agreement, disagreement, blocker to indicate walkout risk, a stack for timed turns (30 seconds), 10 second direct responses and points of clarification or order. Adapted from anarchist and Quaker practice this system is implemented and reported to work in large assemblies.
