Sample sentence: De verktyg som vi använder mest i benchlearning är: lappövning (i alla kreative möten under alla steg)...
It's where you ask people to write things on bits of paper and pin them on a board, choose from them and discuss them. What would you call a 'lapp' in the formal sense, please, given that this is a business book?
TIA,
Helen
