Visibility of group purpose and culture

The workshop's purpose and the group's guiding rules should be well-defined and made visible to all participants. One way to do that is to write them on a whiteboard, a big post-it, or an easel pad.

Another option is to use pre-printed templates that participants can fill in as you define the workshop's purpose and expected outcomes. For example, Design Canvas provides the Six Ps framework for conducting workshops: purpose, participants, principles, products, place, and process.^[1] You can use a similar template to help the group set the context for healthy collaboration.
