Expect enhanced understanding of design relationships. This develops systems thinking. Participants recognize field interconnectedness. Teams show higher engagement and participation. Participants gain concrete examples of shared values and working preferences.
Try a speed version. Reduce the activity to 9 minutes for a faster pace. This works well for time-constrained sessions. Time pressure adds urgency and focus.
