Open-minded
We will approach your team with a posture of listening and willingness to receive feedback from all participants. We love playing games and practicing scenarios, but we understand not all games or scenarios are right for every team!

Data-driven
We recommend teams to select metrics that are significant to them, and track the data through the process.
