• Inclusion and recognition of all participants regardless of background,
• experience, or knowledge.
• Models and metaphors that participants remember.
• Increased ability to work with complex topics.
• Insight into versatile perspectives that provide common knowledge and understanding.
• A new collective system of knowledge from which you can act in a coordinated manner.
