• People gain greater understanding of each issue and the

challenges they face. Being aware of common issues encourages
people to collaborate more.

• Listening to someone else’s challenge enables individuals to

• Gather together a group of colleagues, explain the concept

(to provide support and challenge each other’s thinking), and
arrange to meet regularly.
