WHY COLLABORATE?




                          Working alone is boring!
                          Easy for your brain to get stuck
                          Great ideas are limited to just one brain
                          The blank page can be a terrifying thing

POTENTIAL DOWNSIDES

POTENTIAL DOWNSIDES


                 Team dynamics can get in the way

                 Designers can initially feel disempowered and threatened

                 This is a new way of working for many people, so expect
                 some resistance

                 Ideas without execution; “collaboration is a waste of time”

                 Potential increase in time and money

                 Design by committee

FACILITATION TIPS



                 Appoint a facilitator, a scribe & a photographer
                 Stay neutral, and ask good questions
                 Be clear on goals and outcomes
                 Keep focus
                 Don’t allow one person to dominate
                 Involve the quiet participants
                 Actively listen
                 Summarize periodically
