Art makes hidden organizational friction visible — so leaders can finally talk about it.

The page becomes material — cut, collaged, painted over. Connections that weren’t obvious light up.
The Artifact as Neutral Ground
The group reads the board together. The artifact is how it becomes visible enough to work with, but artifact creation alone does not guarantee results — what gets contributed depends on what feels safe and allowed in the system.
