Give the stage to the public

“Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the
complicated simple, awesomely simple, that’s creativity.””
-Charles Mingus

Public involvement
can get stale

Everyone has a
story to tell

We are born
storytellers

Experience
trumps research

PEOPLE WANT TO BE
HEARD !

Good Planning =
Creativity

“We understand that you can’t transform people who don’t
have internal drive and desire to create. But we also
know it doesn’t work to urge people to think outside the
box without giving them the tools to climb out.”
-Laurie Dunnavant

Exciting

Another tool for
