Bus/Financial - Economics / business book
Swedish term or phrase: lappövning
Sample sentence: De verktyg som vi använder mest i benchlearning är: lappövning (i alla kreative möten under alla steg)...
It's where you ask people to write things on bits of paper and pin them on a board, choose from them and discuss them. What would you call a 'lapp' in the formal sense, please, given that this is a business book?
TIA,
Helen

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  George Hopkins: Could also be slip or tag, ie, notes.

agree  Peter Linton (X): These days they would almost certainly use Post-it notes. We certainly called it "brainstorming," sometimes also "blue sky thinking."
