In structured discussions, some techniques and tools can be applied to promote the effective conduct of discussions and the organization and summary of information. The following are some commonly used structured discussion techniques:

SWOT analysis: SWOT refers to the evaluation of a problem or situation, analyzing its strengths (Strengths), weaknesses (Weaknesses), opportunities (Opportunities) and threats ( Threats). This analysis can help the team fully understand the problem and develop appropriate strategies.

Fishbone diagram (also called cause-and-effect diagram or graphite diagram): A fishbone diagram is a graphical tool that helps teams analyze the root cause of a problem. By writing the problem at the top of the diagram and then plotting the various factors related to the problem, you can help the team identify the multiple factors that caused the problem and develop a solution strategy based on this.

5W1H method: 5W1H is What (what), Why (why), Who (who), When (when), Where (where), How (how). This method can help the team consider a problem or situation comprehensively and analyze all aspects to facilitate in-depth discussion and decision-making.

Distorted thinking: Distorted thinking is a technique that stimulates creative thinking and can help teams break the traditional thinking framework and find new solutions. Creativity and innovative thinking can be stimulated by raising unconventional, bizarre or absurd ideas and questions.

Recursive problem analysis: Recursive problem analysis is a systematic problem decomposition method that decomposes a complex problem into multiple smaller and easier-to-solve sub-problems. By decomposing and solving sub-problems step by step, a final solution can be integrated.

Inductive thinking: Inductive thinking is a reasoning process from the specific to the general. By observing and sorting out a large number of specific examples and details, it summarizes general rules and conclusions. This way of thinking can help teams extract common knowledge and experience from actual cases.

These are some commonly used structured discussion techniques that can help teams systematically discuss, analyze problems, and find solutions. The appropriate techniques may vary depending on the situation and the complexity of the problem.
