Dedicated exploration time
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.
