Pros and Cons

Pros Cons
  • Produces a tangible, shareable artefact that participants take away and continue working with
  • Visual format makes abstract concepts concrete and easier to communicate to others
  • Structured template guides thinking without prescribing answers, preserving participant ownership
  • Template thinking can constrain creativity if participants feel obligated to fill every box
  • Quality of output depends on honest, deep reflection — rushed completion produces shallow results
  • Requires follow-through after the session to convert the artefact into action
