6Enabling Conditions

A framework is only as effective as the environment it runs in. Three conditions matter most.

• Creative space. Physical space with light and tools at hand; mental space protected by pauses and curiosity; and collaborative space where groups reach what individuals cannot.
• Managing creative blocks. Blocks have sources: fear of failure, fatigue, stagnant routine and information overload. Each has a remedy, from self-compassion and structured breaks to a change of scene and time for deep work.
• Networks. The lone genius is a myth. Roadmaps succeed when backed by communities that share opportunities, feedback and support.
