Abstract: Large group interventions (LGIs) are a type of multi-stakeholder process designed to “get the whole system in the room” in order to develop shared understandings and agreements. LGIs are said to be well-suited to the conditions of complexity, plurality, and uncertainty that are often associated with community visioning and planning settings. However, there is little research regarding what reasonably to expect from large group intervention processes and how best to design them. Sharing findings of a multi-stakeholder large group visioning and planning process in the Pacific Northwest, this article informs understanding of how and why large group interventions work, and their applicability to community visioning, planning, and development.
