Car park

Function-Strength Meetings and collaboration

Side topics noted down, with a fixed moment to come back to them.

A side topic is often not noise. It is a brain that sees connections: valuable, just not always right now. A visible car park with a fixed time to come back to it lets the side topic wait without throwing it away.

When to use it

  • A meeting keeps drifting off topic

Tip

Afterwards, ask briefly: which side topic was worth it? Make time for that one. It shows that side topics are valued, and then it is easier to let them wait during the meeting.

What you fill in

  • Which meeting, and when
  • The side topics
  • When do we come back to them?
  • Who looks after the car park?
  • Afterwards, briefly: which side topic was worth it?
