A series of 5-6 short talks (<10 minutes) that prepare, and make a captive audience ready for a particular purpose around a real-world topic e.g. "Urban Mobility" "Future Workplace" "Zero emissions" "Zero Returns" "Frontline Safety".
Collaborative discussion needs to make a connection fast, be open-ended, bound to trigger something after. This format tries to kill the small talk and get to the point. Primer talks goal is to facilitate perspectives, and speaker and audience engagement after.
Audiences want real-world decision makers making it happen, not innovation theatre. Primer talks are used to set the stage for immersive problem solving workshops design sprint, a hackathon, "blue-sky" design thinking etc. IT is the contextual awareness that that is needed to start! It is the undercoat!
