Different ideas were generated by participants contributing from different backgrounds and perspectives, then clustered and prioritized. Prioritization took place by voting, then the ideas that received the most votes were selected and explored further and the relationship between the factors was discussed. Finally, the participants came up with a root cause map indicating the underlying causes for the widening gap between the two sides.

Participants met in Forest Park Hotel over the weekend spending 12 hours together for the residential co-laboratory. Once again, idea generation, clustering and prioritization took place. The ideas that received the most votes were selected and explored further where the relationship between the ideas was discussed. Finally, the participants came up with a root cause map portraying the goals and opportunities which can be utilized for bridging the gap between the two sides.

Participants had three sessions of 3 hours where they generated ideas, voted and drew a root cause map for each particular triggering question. The results of the final session, which was dedicated for designing an action plan, was then used to develop 5 other project drafts. Participants interpreted all the results and with the assistance of the facilitation team prepared a final report.
