The main goal of this blog post is to clearly explain the “Step 0” for everyone who wants to know more detailed information about the overall process.
Creative Steps 2.0 workshop starts with identifying the framework of a business case. As in every sport, there is a starting point or “zero” point. Therefore, CS 2.0 methodology starts with Step 0 where all participants meet and begin the journey from the same starting line.

Main aim of the starting step is to make all participants to get to know each other, to learn about each other’s background. At the end of this step, participants understand better selected business environment, products and services, challenges and opportunities – need to understand it in order to create new product/service for the companies.
The optimal duration of this step is one day which is divided in two parts: Morning session (face-to-face meeting with the teams) and Afternoon session (online meeting with all the participating parties – Creative Teams, Companies, Creative Cave Pool experts, coaches).
This step is the basic of everything, so do not be misled, even though this step is called “zero” it is the most important one.
