Facilitated Group
Speed Boat
A facilitated session where a small group identifies and discusses obstacles (anchors) and accelerators (engines) affecting a desired change or goal, typically capturing them on a shared visual display. The process is designed to surface pain points or barriers, often with a neutral facilitator, and may include evaluating the significance of each factor to guide prioritization.
