DO FIRST / TALK AFTER

DO FIRST / TALK AFTER

Extended discussion can create an illusion that the group has already made the work.

The workshop repeatedly favours:

• entering the space;
• trying the task;
• allowing a messy run;
• observing what appears;
• speaking afterwards.

The approximate rehearsal ratio proposed was:

20% TALKING

80% DOING.

This is a practical guideline rather than a universal rule.
