that we all know how to do,

After two minutes, toast and happiness.
many hundreds of drawings of these toasts,
stotine ovakvih crteža,
the toast-making process quite clearly.

well, not so good.
i nisu tako dobri.

the mechanics of this.

that are about people.
the experience that people have.
the supply chain of making toast

and I'm wondering if you can see it.
i zanima me da li je vidite.
like the toaster and people,
poput tostera i ljudi,

they move their nodes around,
it's actually really important.
zapravo je veoma važno.
and then reflecting and analyzing
in which we get clarity.

we can change a representation

are not only more fluid,
sistemi sa karticama fleksibilniji,
way more nodes than static drawings.
to our third part of the exercise,
but this time in a group.
ali u okviru grupe.
and then it gets really messy,
the model becomes clearer
je model sve jasniji
on top of each other's ideas.

in meetings, isn't it?
na sastancima, zar ne?

you collect the nodes,
you do it over again,
and the patterns emerge,
