How many participants typically attend sensing sessions?

The typical range for participants in sensing sessions, which are designed to gather qualitative feedback and insights from members of an organization, is between 4 to 10 participants. This group size is advantageous for several reasons. It is large enough to encompass diverse perspectives and allow for a variety of viewpoints to be expressed, which enriches the discussion. Yet, it is also small enough to ensure that each participant can engage in meaningful dialogue, allowing for in-depth exploration of issues raised during the session.

Having this number of participants facilitates interaction and rapport-building, which can lead to more candid responses. Larger groups may dilute individual contributions and make it challenging for all voices to be heard, while drastically smaller groups could limit the variety of insights gathered. Therefore, aiming for 4 to 10 participants optimally balances richness of input with manageability, making it the effective choice for such sessions.
