1. Warm up: everyone builds a tower in 3 minutes, then an animal that represents their week.
2. Build 1: "our team today" in 8 minutes.
3. Each person explains their model; others ask about the model, not the person.
4. Build 2: "our team at its best" and share again.
5. The group combines elements into one shared model and lists 3 commitments.

## Facilitator tips
