ABSTRACT

Do the processes I describe always go smoothly? In my experience so far, they have every time. That is, they've ended smoothly – and mostly, but not always, been smooth the whole way through. Always, when I start, I feel as well equipped as a beginner swimmer standing on the high diving board. For, despite process method and social technique, anything could happen. Indeed it's most important that I'm as open as possible to anything happening – otherwise the consensus design process would just be a sham.
