Prepare with your own purpose
Consider your question, prior knowledge and contribution. You choose what to bring from personal preparation into shared work.
Personal workPERSONAL PREPARATION. SHARED WORK. LIVING KNOWLEDGE.
Think together.
Keep knowledge alive.
Prepare with your own questions and develop the work with your stakeholders. Bring together what happened, confirm what will be shared, and carry learning and responsibilities into what comes next.
From your personal work to shared work with teams and stakeholders.

VALUE CREATED TOGETHER
The session ends.
Its value continues.
Keep people’s purposes, different contributions and responsibilities meaningful within projects, operations and stakeholder relationships.
Develop it together
Consider the people, stakeholders and working method. Explore contributions visually and discuss proposals, objections and reasons together.
Professional workCompile, confirm and continue
Clarify the outputs to share. Carry personal learning, shared outcomes and commitments into later work without losing their distinct meanings.
Working with stakeholdersA CONCRETE EXAMPLE
Improve a customer-onboarding
process together.
Prepare before the workshop, connect the team’s contributions and discuss alternatives. Carry the reason for a decision into the next piece of work.
Prepare the question and context
The facilitator brings together the current path, known problems and the question to be answered.
Make experiences visible
Participants note different waiting points, relate similar problems and explain them with examples.
Compare the options
Compare alternatives against shared criteria, recording the reason for the choice and any unverified assumption.
Compile, confirm and decide what comes next
Separate proposals from decisions; the people concerned confirm what will be shared. Carry commitments and open questions into the next review.
A workshop record in which the problem, option, decision and next task can be read together.
Explore the workshop scenarioTHE THINKING TRAIL
How you reached it
matters as much
as the outcome.
The same work can mean different things to different people. Consider personal reflection, the jointly confirmed outcome and decision reasoning in their own contexts, then build on earlier thinking in new conditions.
01 / QUESTIONWhat should we solve?
Work context and open questions.
02 / ALTERNATIVEWhat other paths are there?
Different views and assumptions.
03 / DECISIONWhy did we choose this path?
The choice, its basis and reasoning.
04 / CONTINUITYContinue from here.
Into new work, with its context.
AS YOUR WORK DEVELOPS
Start with a note.
Go as deep as the work needs.
Bring different forms of expression, meaningful relationships and reusable work designs into the same context.
Visual work
Start with a note, explain with a drawing, compare in a table or explore a mind map.
Explore this areaDiagrams and relationships
Make process steps, system components or an organisation’s structure visible.
Explore this areaTasks and planning
Keep tasks emerging from a piece of work visible on the same Wall.
Explore this areaKnowledge and decisions
Keep a shared outcome together with its question, alternatives, evidence and open points.
Explore this areaFinding and interpreting
What a note says matters, as do its connections, location and the context in which it was created.
Explore this areaWork design and templates
Design where people will contribute, how their contributions will relate and what the work should produce.
Explore this areaYOUR WORK, YOUR STARTING POINT
What will you develop
together today?
Personal preparation, team work, external stakeholders or ongoing operations: start from a scenario close to your work and consider what happens afterwards too.
Workshops and facilitation
When the workshop ends, keep the thinking alive.
Product and process design
Draw the process. Keep the work in context.
Decision meetings
Choose an option. Keep the reasoning.
Organisational knowledge
Let previous work start the next task.
Learning together
Bring learning into the work itself.
Personal work and preparation
From your own thinking to shared work.
Working with stakeholders
Work on the same task from different worlds.
Ongoing operations and incidents
Keep the context as the work continues.
KEEP CONTROL
Sharing stays separate
from source permission.
Joining a working Room does not open its preparation content or every record in a source system. Room roles, knowledge ownership and authority for real operations are considered separately.
FIRST STEPS
Start with your own question.
You do not need to learn every tool at once. See an example in the Guide and try it yourself.
Create your account
Use email or another account method enabled on your platform.
Choose your first activity
Set up your own work or continue to the Room you were invited to join.
Prepare the work
Consider the purpose, stakeholders, contributions and way of working together.
Decide what comes next
Develop contributions, confirm outcomes and clarify open questions and subsequent responsibilities.
