Applying Sammie in Workshops
Facilitators use Sammie the Circle as a live canvas during collaborative sessions. Groups map inputs, outputs, and decisions around the shape, turning abstract concepts into concrete visuals.
Each wedge can represent a phase, a capability, or a priority. Participants add sticky notes, sketches, or metrics directly onto the circle, creating a shared data driven narrative.
Workshop Setup Steps
Preparation is light, yet intentional. Clear space on a wall or digital board, print or project the circle, and prepare prompts that connect to your strategic goals.
During the session, ask focused questions, cluster similar ideas, and identify quick wins. This keeps energy high and ensures the circle remains a practical tool rather than a decorative element.
