I've had the opportunity to see Stanley and his associates adapt his methods to another process as well, during a visioning exercise for the Britannia Community Centre Society. It did come with its challenges, being an extremely compressed version of what it normally would be. I've never heard it described as "3-D Deficit disorder" but I feel like I must have some of that too! I'm much better standing at a spot and hearing an idea told to me verbally when there's some visual reference to build on — I don't have Google Earth head either, and I'm convinced those with spatial thinking must have something like that. The incorporation of the site visit into the process is refreshing. The challenge with the method as far as I can tell is that in its current state, it requires a fairly significant time investment on the part of community participants, which likely results in limited participation. I'm interested to see if there are ways to broaden that without losing what makes the process special. All the best with your work. Karen I’m glad you enjoyed this!

I've just started dipping my toe into a co-design process for the first time (inspired by Stan's work), and it was great to read about (and "see") your experience. As someone who suffers from 3D Deficit Disorder, I'm amazed by people who can envision things *and* bring them to life in 2 dimensions. By the way, you can say "Feeding two birds from one hand" instead of using that old-fashioned phrase. (See more at http://www.greenhearted.org/nature-friendly-language.html.)
