Consder how such gatherngs take place typcally as meetngs and workshops. Thnk about all those meetngs you have partcpated n over the years.

Unfortunately, n too many stuatons the realty s that people don t leave such meetngs wth a sense of what was just descrbed.

It s a language, communcaton tool, problem solvng methodology, based on the belef that everyone can contrbute to the dscusson, the decsons, and the outcome.
