”Co-Create: Creating Better Together”
summary
Claims that collaboration beats lone genius, with concrete methods: a shift to an experimentation mindset, live exercises that force listening and turn-taking, and improv rules like yes and/plussing to amplify ideas. Workshop tools include paired listening drills and a paper “failed superhero” mashup to prove diversity makes outputs richer. Outcome is immediate: quieter contributors surface ideas, groups iterate faster, and the exercises scale into repeatable practices for teams rather than one-off games.
