Welcome
Hosting and harvesting conversations that matter start with incisive questions that inspire participants to surface the answers - or more questions - they need to serve their purpose. Shared purpose is key to coherent action; asking the right questions is the starting point.
Different conversations lead to different types of results
Set your own agenda
Emergent conversations with tangible outcomes
start where the participants interest is strongest.
The agenda of the day is a road map.
Conversations are not linear,
and are best reflected in a landscape.
The meeting room is important
Natural light, close to nature often brings the best results .
Does size matter?
You can create a participatory process with
anywhere from a handful to hundreds of people.
Design is centered on purpose, not size.
