Twenty-eight students spent a Saturday with and me learning about the use of metaphor to help facilitate group problem-solving and how to utilize it as an aid in the problem-solving process.
I’ve decided (with Dario’s permission) to release the full 53-minute replay of the session, as we both believe it’s valuable for everyone and provides a taste of what Monthly Live Lab sessions are like, if you are considering supporting my work.
