Gallery Walk

Creativity and facilitation method by which a group finds quick solutions to tasks that require change.

The Gallery Walk is a creativity and facilitation method that allows a group to quickly find solutions to both individual subtasks and the overall task at hand that require change. The tasks are visualized on a gallery wall, discussed with all team members, coordinated and finally provided with solutions.

With the Gallery Walk, the leader of the project provides the ideal framework and a lively exchange, while the members of a sub-project ensure an understanding of the task at hand. Finally, the swarm intelligence of the group, with its diverse expertise from a wide range of disciplines, makes a decisive contribution to finding solutions.

All participants get an overview of the respective problems with a joint Gallery Walk, a walk from one topic complex to the next. They work in groups to come up with solutions, which are then compiled on a wall or a series of flipcharts. The participants then view the entire work, with one member of each group explaining the partial result. This is then commented on and discussed by all participants.

The Gallery Walk can be organized in a fixed, short period of time, such as 120 minutes, within a workshop. However, the method can also be used to solve holistic, complex tasks and extend over a longer period of time, even days or weeks.

Walking from one station to the next keeps participants both mentally and physically in application, thus serving to develop creativity and active participation. The atmosphere is more casual and relaxed than at a round or square table. The individual stations of the Gallery Walk finally come together to form an overall picture.

The goal of the Gallery Walk is an intensive exchange of knowledge from different perspectives as well as a related analysis in order to quickly find solutions and bring about positive changes to existing problems.
