• The concept of broad listening is a technique that assists in listening to the opinions of many people.
• Being able to summarize the main points makes it easier to handle large numbers of opinions.
• When you can handle diverse opinions, you can move away from a localized view and see things more broadly.
• Feeling that the opinions based on them have come back to you gives you a sense that your opinion has been heard.
• In broad listening, it is important to hear from at least as many people as possible.
• However, when the number of people and the volume of opinions is too large, it is practically difficult to deal with each person’s opinion.
• Hence, there is little need to read 100% of everyone’s opinions, but to summarize what is common and to listen to the least important opinions.
• The next thing to do is to learn practical methods of broad listening.

What would you like to see happen in this conversation? I want to verbalize the concept of broad listening. What kind of “broad listening” is this “broad listening”? Technology to assist in hearing the opinions of a large number of people What kind of “many” is this “many”? If you have a small number of people, you can ask them normally, but if you have, say, 100 people, you have to ask 100 times more than you can talk, and it becomes practically impossible. What “quantity” is that “quantity”? If 50 out of 100 people have similar opinions, but each one is shown as a separate opinion, that’s 50 times as much. Is there anything else you can tell us about that “quantity”? If you can put together similar opinions, you can reduce the volume. Where is that “quantity”? It’s an abstract concept, so it’s not somewhere else.

• If we can put together similar opinions, we can reduce the volume.

• How do you know what this “quantity” is? That’s a lot.” What kind of “many” is that “many”? It’s like it’s hard to read all of it. What kind of “all” is this “all”? It’s preferable to read all of them because if you don’t read them all, you’ll be biased. Is there anything else you can tell us about that “all”? Realistically, I can’t read them all, so I catch the opinions I can easily catch and go through the ones I can’t. What kind of “opinion” is that “opinion”? To be submitted by each individual What kind of “each” is that “each”? People think differently, there is diversity, so each one is different. Is there anything else you can tell us about that “each”? He said it’s important to have diversity. What is it that you value? Unbiased observation of diverse opinions. Is there anything else about that “opinion”? It is important that everyone can voice their opinions and feel heard. Where is this “opinion”? among the people?

• It is important for everyone to be able to voice their opinions and feel heard.

• Where is this “opinion”? When your opinion is heard by the other person and they make statements based on it, you feel that you have been heard. Where does this “opinion” come from? It comes from within each individual.

• I feel my opinions are heard when my opinions are put into the other person’s mind and they make statements based on them.

• How do you know this “opinion”? Do you know your opinion ex post facto? No. Sometimes you know after the fact by output in response to the stimulus of someone else’s opinion. What does that “opinion” seem to be? Balls? They go back and forth between people.

• Do you know your opinion ex post facto? No. Sometimes you know after the fact by output in response to the stimulus of someone else’s opinion.

• What would you like to see happen regarding this “opinion”? I hope they catch it and throw it back, so it doesn’t fall aside and get distributed. What needs to happen to “opinion” for that to happen? Too many can’t be caught, so they need to be compressed down to the amount each person can catch. Can you do that with regard to “opinions?” That’s what you’re trying to do, broad listening. Is there anything else you can tell us about that “broad listening”? Summary.
