Hamster time!

I like to see the box as a representation of the boundaries of your own knowledge and experience. The more you acquire, the bigger the box becomes for you, compared to someone else with perhaps more limited knowledge or experience, in general or in a specific domain. Just like the puzzle you mention: once you've figured out the way to solve it, it becomes a newly acquired technique you can start applying to new puzzles. It is no longer "out of the box" for you.

Hadn't heard of that cycle before, thank you for sharing, Melissa! I'll start by watching the Insight linked by Simon :)

Yes! Looking forward to it!

I feel it too! So many new areas to explore, so much more to learn, apply and share, ... And even though this comes with its own set of challenges, it's so exciting that I feel I can take it on.

I'd say implicitly, people probably already make use of this map mentally when considering new experiments, or planting seeds for new ideas for example. Formalizing this into an actual map will provide a more complete picture, exposing new paths, identifying missing ones, etc ... Seems like a very powerful thing to have available. Thank you for sharing!

Dare to challenge the team during postmortems so there is a focus on prevention and not only a fix!

Getting people to care (and keep caring) about quality in a collaborative way feels very challenging, at least to me. I'd love to hear how others instill this "quality mindset".
