French

Domaine(s)
  • Techniques d'animation des réunions
DEF

Discussion informelle portant sur une question particulière menée au sein d'un sous-groupe faisant partie d'un groupe plus large dans le but de favoriser la discussion entre les participants, chaque sous-groupe étant censé présenter le résultat de ses travaux devant l'ensemble des participants.

CONT

La discussion non directive en petit groupe ou le brainstorming sont plus efficaces [que le Phillips 66] mais requièrent plus de temps et moins de participants.

OBS

Le terme «échange en essaim» renferme l'idée de bourdonnement de groupes qui échangent à mi-voix, tout comme le terme anglais «buzz session». Cependant, il semble que le français préfère des appellations plus abstraites pour rendre cette notion, ou des termes ayant des connotations visuelles («discussion en petit groupe» ou «en sous-groupe») plutôt que sonores («échange en essaim»). Ce dernier terme n'a d'ailleurs été relevé dans aucune source française originale.

In a buzz session the audience is divided into small groups for a limited period of time. Each group member is asked to contribute his or her ideas or thoughts. Buzz sessions can be used to develop questions for a speaker or panel, offer ideas regarding how to address an issue in the future, or react to the information that has been presented in the session.
