5. We postpone our interpretations and judgments • We do that by including multiple perspectives • And by asking • participants • to tell their story • in terms of • observations • We do not look for guilty parties that contributed to the unexpected event The Blame Free Principle

6. We assume that patterns of interaction will make anyone act in the same • way, making the same • mistakes as did the person • in this specific situation • So it is about changing the • patterns, and the conditions • in which these patterns can excist, not about changing the person No one is to blame for

7. Judging enables you to make a decision • If it is not necessary to make a decision, you can postpone your judgment • By postponing your judgment, you can start observing and renew your observations and interpretations concerning a certain event Postponing your judgment

9. Tell me about a specific moment in a project of yours that you experienced something you did not expect? • Where were you at that time, who was there with you, were you sitting or standing? • What did you say, in what way did you move? • And then? What happened then? • And then? Storytelling in observations

10. What problem is your project an answer to? • Who experiences a sense of urgency? • Which people and therefore perspectives are included? • What cannot be questioned or touched? Negotiating the conditions

11. How do I get stakeholders to feel their dreams, hopes and desires so that they ask me what they really want? How do I make crucial stakeholders care about this project? How do I create space for variety, where there is no space at the moment? How do I seduce stakeholders and secretly touch what I cannot touch or discuss? (how can I give them a sense of security and of control?) Breaking through patterns

No one reacts, just listen • Second round: every person tells whenever he wishes what inspired him or touched him in the words that were spoken during the first round. No one reacts, just listen The method of contemplation
