|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | When someone needs to sort out a concrete work problem, Troika Consulting offers fast peer consulting with a tight focus. The method brings perspectives together without taking responsibility out of the person's hands. | When a group without a fixed agenda needs to get into useful conversations quickly, Lean Coffee structures the start around interests rather than a presentation. The group itself negotiates which topics get time first and which wait. | When a central question feels too large, the method breaks it into neighboring topic fields with their own depth of ideation. It holds structure and openness at the same time, so adjacent perspectives don't get lost. This grows an idea space out of a core problem. |
