The impact
The contributor encounters new perspectives on their situation and can thus change their behaviour. By first thinking freely and taking all ideas seriously, and then ordering these, other participants increase their analytical ability and develop the ability to look systematically for underlying questions. Because they are actively involved in the subject, they gain more insight into the different aspects of a (work) situation.
Rules of play
The contributor explains the situation, without being interrupted.
Participants ask questions for clarification. They do not give any value judgments.
The contributor decides which insights they want to pursue.
