Participants filled in sections of the wheel to help them think through the full cycle of innovation—from cause of the primary problem to the resulting change from the solution.
Cause
Medical professionals begin to speak in abstract terms
Threat
Disconnect with life experience
Problem
Lack of understanding
Crisis
Language gap between doctor and patient
Source
We had a wild idea
Opportunity
How two paths can sort of merge (translate, etc.)
Solution
Structured back-and-forth, swapping time for context (patient) and forced (?) questions (doctor)
Change
Shared framework that helps find a common language
Another group created a setting for their story—the yearly medical visit. They also named participants, a patient and doctor, and cited a motive, which was that the “doctor wants to regulate health in well-enough person, whereas the patient wants assurance.”
Every group had a chance to present the logic and creativity of the wheels, as well as receive feedback from the larger group—feedback that centered around refining the story and exploring other avenues of thinking about the problem at hand.
After much discussion, the final activity of the day was to take the structured output from the wheels of reason and create a narrative that told the story cohesively.
