Gaining consensus in the workplace on a direction to move in can be a very difficult process. Making the process standard work can be a slow but consistent method for consensus: “a clear method by which a person can build a case for the initiative, communicate it to colleagues, incorporate their feedback, gain their support, and thereby move forward.” The A3 process replaces large, messy meetings with simple one–on–one meetings between people.

Jeff Klein, CEO of Cause Alliance Marketing, is interviewed on the importance of creativity in the new paradigm of work: personal, meaningful, and part of an integrated life. Klein notes that collaboration fosters creativity when common causes and objectives also speak to individual interests. Allowing for creativity and adaptability, and recognizing the limits of individual knowledge, allow for other ideas and perspectives to move a project along. The idea is to have the openness to be able to adapt to changing circumstances and co-create with others.
