A Large Scale Intervention consists of a sequence of meetings of small and large groups, see the example in this figure:

Depending on the circumstances, the client and facilitator or design team choose one or more LGI-methods (see Methods/Design). The following are the selection criteria for selection:

• Objective of the intervention
• Power structure: to what degree is it possible for stakeholders to co-create with each other?
• Number of participants that are to be involved
• Preparation time
• Overall time required for the process
• Possible input of advisers and experts
• Willingness to implement a given format
• Duration of an event/availability of time

Other meetings and/or events may be organised around the time of the intervention. We advise that you design the intervention in such a way that changes and adaptations can be introduced easily. Points of focus are:

• Relationship with management and the practical reality of management
• Do not promise more than what can be accomplished within the available time
• Space in order to adjust the design during the course of the intervention
