Round Robin

Round Robin helps teams build on each other's ideas. It's a structured way to evolve concepts by passing them from person to person. Each participant adds to or challenges the previous idea. The result? Collaborative ideas that individuals couldn't have conceived alone. It's part of the LUMA collection.
