When you have struggled to define a minimally viable result then you need a way to not only brainstorm ideas, but also a way to cut the unnecessary waste out. Pass on Perfection is an exercise for discovering and co-creating a solutions or products with what is minimally necessary. It mashes up Yes and… thinking for co-creation, and the essence of The Perfection Game (from the Core Protocols) for negotiation and prioritization in a collaborative round-robin game format. This workshop will provide the opportunity to try out the exercise and give you the opportunity to co-create something you or another participant desires. We’ll share our perfection results and discuss our learnings; including how psychological safety is created in its use.

Learning Outcomes

  • Contribute without being emotionally held to ideas

  • Co-own removing waste in solutions

  • Build trust with positive collaboration

  • Co-create solutions that give everyone a voice
