When you come to the NavCenter as a participants you are entering a "time out of time".

• Be aware of the event's hours and be prepared to 'Be There' the entire time. Participants who leave and return during a session lose valuable context, disrupt the performance of their team members who stay, and may derail valuable solutions. Teams don't win games by letting their players arbitrarily leave the field.
  
  
• Dress comfortably/casually.
  
  
• Leave excess baggage behind, physically and mentally. The work generated during your event is documented, archived and made available to you after the event. There is no need for you to take notes during the event unless you choose to do so.
  
  
• Please keep interruptions by cell phones and pagers to a minimum. Turning them off would be preferred. The NavCenter staff will be glad to take messages for you and notify you of anything urgent.
  
  
• Participants must be people with 'skin in the game', who play with gusto because they have a critical need for the outcome of the event.
  
  
• Each participant is responsible for engaging with the ideas to help each other and themselves employ their professional and personal competence to the fullest.
  
  
• Participants must be people who can implement what they design, without needing to obtain an "OK" from someone who is not present.
  
  
• Participants come from as broad a cross-section of the organization as possible.
  
  
• Participants from up and down the value chain and hierarchy add considerable value to the crafting of the problem and the solution.
  
  
• Participants must honor the environment and spirit of "time out of time" and keep the NavCenter a safe place to design and take risks.
  
  
• Avoid 'visitors'--everyone present is either participating or a knowledge worker on the KreW
