How to run a roundtable discussion or stakeholder discussions async?

Описание: Start with a 2–5 minute-long introduction that welcomes the audience and sets the tone of the session. Also, the facilitator will have to provide information about the topic by presenting interesting facts, statistics, or anecdotes that illustrate why it's important, but trying to stay under five minutes. This can be done by recording your presentation and adding it to the session with a tool like Loom. If your are recording the video…speak naturally as if people were in front of you and welcome them the same way you would in person. 

We often ask how people feel about what they just heard during the video. Especially because we can't read the room, so it's a way for us, as facilitators to improve in the future or ask more questions.


Next, facilitators will need to divide the session into questions. 
Questions that will help the facilitator gather the information they need based on the objective of this roundtable or stakeholder engagement session. Here, you need to ask questions so all participants participate and tap into each other's knowledge and collectively overview their views.
The good thing about asynchronous sessions is that everyone can see each other's answers, everyone has enough time to participate, there is more flexibility for participants, participants have more time to digest information and make informed decisions or share more well-thought-out ideas and opinions. Also, facilitators get to easily manage the process because they can add a start and due date so deadlines are clear, and they can have their own notes and conclusions within the session and share next steps to participants.
