15% solutions

Overview

15 % solutions is a method that empowers participants individually or at group level to think, reflect and act based on the possibilities and capabilities they possess  at hand in a given situation.

• Reveal bottom-up solutions.
• Remember unused capacity and resources.
• Close the gap between knowing and doing.
