In short:

• For inspiration: As many people as possible through co-creative workshops

• For making: Work in duos.

• For decision making: Use existing organizational structures.

Inspiration Gathering: as many as possible

When it comes to inspiration gathering, I love having as many people involved as possible. This can mean dozens or even hundreds of participants. I like to do this through co-creative workshops. These sessions create a sense of togetherness and focus on one specific challenge. Not only do you make progress and gather diverse perspectives, but you also build a sense of community, and prepare people to the changes that might arrive later.

Building Stuff: work in duos

For building things, I prefer working in duos. One of the great things about duos is that it's easier to find times to work together. You don't have to juggle too many different schedules.

Also, working in pairs feels more usual to me, much like living with a partner. When it comes to making tiny decisions quickly, duos are super effective.

Decision Making: Use what exists

For the big decision-making moments, I usually rely on the existing structures within the organization. This often means working with a board, a committee, or a CEO.
