I am not sure it worked well back when, at least in Detroit.  I know
Henry Ford had a few (a couple famous) riots on his hands because
there was not enough work for all those that arrived.

But I know what you mean about arriving for the experiment, and
allowing the process to lead the way.  I often work best like this, as
a kinesthetic learner, it is hard for me to follow directions and
easier to feel my way through the process.  The results can be
surprising like this.  I remember getting resistance from staff in
getting through process like this, they wanted it spelled out from
beginning to end.  What they got was supervision from beginning to end
so that when resources were needed, they were immediately given.  In
the end, they learned to trust (so the close supervision was lifted as
I could trust they would ask for needed resources) and the results
were great.  Opening process in this way can bring surprising
results.  Very creative.
