This method can be used in very different contexts. You can determine in a group which subjects you want to deal with and which project goal is for you crucial. Or you can identify the most important aspects of further planning in a team. Also during evaluation this analysis might be helpful. How much awareness or resources did you spent for which aspects represented by the single pieces of cake? How does this relate to your plans? In a classical group evaluation you could gather what you liked in the subject of a training, which organizational or regarding the contents aspects of the project were most interesting.

As a first step, you gather all possible aspects, subjects, goals, area of responsibility. You number them. Afterwards begins an individual work. Each of you draws a circle or cuts it out of the cardboard. Now you divide the circle – like with the cake – into pieces of a cake: important aspects become a large piece of the cake, the less important the smaller. At the end, the pieces of each participant are compared, in order to find out the biggest (=the most important) of all.

This method can be used in very different contexts. You can determine in a group which subjects you want to deal with and which project goal is for you crucial. Or you can identify the most important aspects of further planning in a team. Also during evaluation this analysis might be helpful. How much awareness or resources did you spent for which aspects represented by the single pieces of cake? How does this relate to your plans? In a classical group evaluation you could gather what you liked in the subject of a training, which organizational or regarding the contents aspects of the project were most interesting.

Description

As a first step, you gather all possible aspects, subjects, goals, area of responsibility. You number them. Afterwards begins an individual work. Each of you draws a circle or cuts it out of the cardboard. Now you divide the circle – like with the cake – into pieces of a cake: important aspects become a large piece of the cake, the less important the smaller. At the end, the pieces of each participant are compared, in order to find out the biggest (=the most important) of all.
