A discovery mindset supports open-ended exploration, shared business learning, and collaborative EventStorming. It requires participants to set aside delivery pressure long enough to uncover how processes actually work. section 7.4.2
Create conditions that help participants discover rather than merely attend:
- Prioritize discovery work instead of treating it as an extra commitment. section 7.4.2
- Check that attendees are not overcommitted before the workshop. section 7.4.2
- Encourage full participation, business knowledge sharing, and learning from others. section 7.4.2
- Redirect debate from low-value details toward the larger problems the group needs to understand. section 7.4.2
