Today we will continue to discuss the book we started in yesterday's blogpost. Tomorrow we will discuss book Beyond Performance. In yesterday's post we discussed the five principles as : define the purpose,  engage multiple perspectives, frame the issues;  set the scene and make it an experience. We will review this in detail now.
When defining the purpose, it is important to design the session well so as to unlock the interdisciplinary solution.  If the participants are unfamiliar with the issue,  they may need an educative session first. If the participants are well aware of the issues but are spinning the wheels, they may need a making choices session.
When engaging multiple perspectives, it is important to find the right mix of people. Sometimes this can mean a dream team other times it could mean fresh blood
A common platform should be created to improve creative collaboration. This can be done with a group identity, a common target,  interactions and sharing.
When framing the issues,  it is a key practice to establish boundaries and scope.  The mindsets of the participants should be stretched but not broken by carefully keeping the contents and perspectives in balance.
When setting the scene, it is important to pay attention to every detail that can help with the collaboration.
When making it an experience, it is important to consider the whole person and his/her thinking inside box.
