If necessary, facilitate a verbal discussion to address any understanding difficulties. If necessary, re-formulate the question or prompt. Inform the participants of time limits, if any. Let the participants contribute comments until they run out of ideas

Interpretation & Conclusion The treatment group adopted collaboration facilitation of the OnePage thinkLet Further analysis showed that changes in collaboration patterns can be visualized Limits in interpretation: e.g., switch from generate to converge Coordination problems impact team performance negatively facilitate teams with collaboration knowhow in the form of action patterns
