- 0 Products search The kits Digital cards How to use Our methodology Studios About Theory 5 principles for Conversation Design By Ola Möller and Jordan Valentin Lane We can explore a project or topic from many different angles.
- In meetings, we might have an agenda that defines the conversation to be had.
- Conversations can be more or less structured, but as a moderator, teacher or facilitator, you can structure discussions and create direction for those who participate.
