To protect time specifically for creative exploration. Allocate regular time where the team explores new ideas without the requirement to deliver immediate outcomes. During this time, explore questions like: • What would we do if we could start from scratch? •… An ongoing team scaffold (exploration session), run monthly or quarterly, not as a one-off session.
