01. Collect
Every workshop needs to start with a phase of information collection. This can be where a team comes together to collect challenges, ideas, data, inspiration, or anything that could be up for conversation. The data collection then needs to be visualized for all participants to see. The collect phase is where the scope of work for the project or challenge is defined.

02. Choose
Once enough content and data has been collected, it’s time to Choose what to focus on and what to ignore. It’s important that the entire team really knows exactly what they’re working on so they don’t create solutions for the wrong or irrelevant challenges. The Choose phase of the workshop gives clear direction and acts as a foundation for everything else.

03. Create
Once the team has collected and shared the relevant information and everybody’s on the same page with the “scope of work”, it’s time for team members to Create solutions. Solutions don’t need to be final, or even well thought-out - at this point it’s more about creating multiple potential solutions.

04. Commit
A workshop is useless without actionable takeaways, unless the goal was purely about inspiring the team. In the commit phase, we help participants to commit to a small number of solutions that will be executed on and discard/de-prioritize others, while also helping the team define next steps.
