I disagree - there is a magic elixir, it's called coffee but that's a completely different topic.
It's good that it sounds like it wasn't just an exercise for the sake of there being an exercise and that it may actualize into real stuff happening on the ground. There is a lot of growth when you're not in a comfort zone and it can be the most difficult thing to do when you've been in the swing of things for a while, but it's necessary and sounds like everyone is willing to come on board to make the changes happen.
The world runs on coffee. And taxes.
It was interesting during the workshops, as they were designed to let people both be the professional and subject matter expert, but also an opportunity to reflect on ways to improve. It was a decent setup.
