Capturing results and analysis
The key question for analysis is – what do you want to get out of the workshop?Ketso is a tool to capture ideas – it doesn’t do your
analysis for you. • It does, however, help participants to structure and interact
with the data, so capturing the patterns and use of icons are important. (take pictures!)
• We have tools to help you to collate, synthesise and explore the data in different ways, but you need to work out what you are looking for and play with the data
What else doesn’t Ketso do? • Remind you of who was at the workshop – you need to
keep track and take notes• Record everything that is said – again, you may need to
take notes or record sessions to get supplementary data

Top hints
Capturing the results and preparing the kit for re-use
• Ketso washes clean in water!• You can take pictures of a
Ketso, taking a picture of each quadrant as well as an overview of whole felt. You need a decent quality camera (8 mega pixels or more). Taking a picture helps to capture the key patterns and relationships!

• For writing-up the results download from Ketso website an Excel spreadsheet (for both the tree-like Ketsos and the Ketso Grid) or Word document (simple but not much analysis possible)

Planning a Ketso Workshop
Top hints
Planning a workshop• Run a practice workshop
• You do need to plan for your workshop!
• Think through what the different coloured leaves will represent (e.g. what questions you will be asking)
• Think how (and if) you will use the branches to provide themes to add some structure the workshop
• There are lots of resources on Ketso website to help you
Basic structure of a Ketso workshop
• A series of questions asked in sequence, using the coloured leaves for different questions (we call these the Ketso Seeds)
• Plus the 'trunk', the core focus, which is written on the centrepiece, and (often) 'branches', which give themes to help structure the workshop.
The most commonly used Ketso Seed
The core Ketso Seeds
• Look forward & Plan• Review & Reflect• Discuss & Share• Learn - Beginnings• Learn - Review
Very slight variation on Look forward Seed – for looking backwards
Useful for asking for feedback (e.g. of project or strategy) as well as general exploration of ideas
Start with what people know – and help them to relate that to what you are teaching
Useful after a training session or a course, focus on content / skills & what to do with them
Which seed?
• Which seed from the hand outs in front of you seem to be the most useful?
• Do you need to adapt them?• There are a few adaptations for specific context
shown on your hand outs as examples.

Advantages of pre-prepared branches
• Greater likelihood of covering all of the key themes - the branches can 'stretch' people's thinking
• Easier and quicker for groups to compare the emerging ideas between tables and learn from each other
• Easier to syntheise ideas from several groups (especially important if running a series of workshops)
• It can take less time, as people start to place ideas against themes instead of spending time developing themes
• Providing a degree of structure and a framework can spark more creativity and ideas, as the branches themselves suggest new avenues of thought
Remember to leave the felt folded whilst participants start to develop their ideas
Then ask participants to see where the ideas fit once the felt is unfolded
Advantages of blank branches
• Allows you to explore an idea with no preconceived framework
• More possibility for surprising emergent themes• Participants can feel more ‘ownership’ of the themes (but
these may not be shared amongst the group if there is more than one table)
• Quicker to prepare for a workshop (as you don't need to think of themes or write them up in advance)
However, the process takes longer and the discussion may lack focus. It is more difficult for groups to quickly compare ideas and to synthesise key points.
Developing branches: has it done before?
Developing branches: is there a good report / ideas from a strategy you can use?
Developing branches: is there a widely used framework out there?
And yes, googling is a good place to start!
• No slides for the stages of this workshop• You can do it, but it is nice to have the slides! • And you can download them from the website and
adapt them to your needs
Developing branches: talking to the people you are working with
Developing branches: do a practice workshop with blanks (& always a good idea to test your branches)
Developing branches: refine and develop over time
Where to go for more help – a guide to resources under ‘Make the most of your Ketso’
Which branches?
• Is there a branch set that will work for your workshop?
• Brainstorm branches onto comments cards• If there is time – do a little test, what sorts of ideas
are likely to come up? • Do they fit? • How do the branches structure your thoughts? • Is there anything missing?
A few more hints on branches
• We do tend to find that 6 branches works well • And don’t forget to leave at least one blank
branch! • And don’t forget to leave at least one blank
branch!• There are spare branches on the back, you can
add as you go along• It can be nice to have a floating branch for things
that don’t fit
• You may have to adjust as you go along
Facilitation reminder
• Remember to unfold the branches after people have started with leaves• People develop their ideas before they see structure• Then see how their ideas fit with your structure
• You may have to reassure people that it is OK if their ideas don’t fit • Can they develop some now that do fit?• Do you need a new branch / different branches?
• Compare your experience of the first practice workshop and the mini Ketso facilitation exercises

Top hints
Preparation and practicalities• Make sure that you will have enough space and tables and
chairs for people to be able to use Ketso at the venue!• Check for disabled access and how people will get there.• Plan for how many felt workspaces you need – dividing the
expected number by 6 allows for extra people on the day.
• Again, there are checklists on the Ketso website to help you with the practicalities at each stage.
• Look at the resources under ‘Make the Most of your Ketso’ from the home page.
Where to go for more information?
Top hints for running a workshop
Get off to a good start• Introduce aims and how to use each piece of Ketso clearly
Keep everyone engaged• Make sure everyone has a pen and some leaves (do often)• Think then share - at each stage give people time on their
own to develop their ideas before sharing them • Make sure people take turns to place their leaves
Keep it simple • Use one colour leaf at a time• Start with the felt folded over, open after some ideas are
developed and ask people to see where their ideas fit• Have a blank branch so new themes can emerge!
