🧵On Wed, I launched The Impactful Academic. I organised a panel re. impact and higher education (feat. @lisagiven @hillandy @kentheknight @lisa_grocott). Generally, panels are boring, so I tried to mix things up. I think/hope it worked. Here are some #Engagement tips for panels.
Preparation: Prepare panellists by providing a few broad questions outlining the scope of the desired conversation. Encourage them not to over-prepare. Planned recitations rarely inspire or connect. Brief them at the event; when they'll be on stage, how long, how to hold mics.
Intros: Giving five panellists two minutes each will eat up 15-20min without getting to the meat of the discussion. People go long. Short and sharp intros from the facilitator are often best. If you want to be really adventurous, have panellists introduce each other.
