It is an idea generation tool around complex and abstract issues. It allows groups to create a common understanding of the multiple dimensions and visions around a large issue, notion or subject. It facilitates the analysis of a subject, that is, understanding its smaller components and understanding the connections among them.

It is a very useful tool when starting a creative process around complex subjects that embrace multiple notions, stakes and visions. It is a very good way to put out, clarify and enrich participant's vision on the subject.

It also works great as an icebreaking activity before delving into a prospective or very hands-on creative process.

Although it can be used individually, it is a very powerful collective tool. Working teams in between 4 & 6 participants are ideal.
