Harrison et al Enough givens are already built into the process: the theme as a question to be answered and a diverse audience invited to answer the question. Both theme and audience are decided by the sponsor and planning team.

It is far more likely that more issues and actions will emerge if no pre-conditions are set by the planning team on the participants.
