Overview

Stacking is a simple tool wherein the facilitator or meeting leader establishes the order in which people will speak. This provides an opportunity for everyone’s voice to be heard.

To stack:

• Acknowledge who wants to speak or whom you would like to hear from.
• Create a speaking order by announcing who will be first, second, third, and so on.
• Prompt people when their turn has arrived.
• If more people want to speak after your initial stack, repeat the process.
