Fig. 1 The Process Wheels are designed to facilitate skillful transactions that help to synthesize
project team thinking and maximize long-term impacts of research. Each wheel consists of a series
of rings attached with a fastener. The rings contain program information associated with processes
observed in the cultivation of living lab research. As psychologist Robert Sternberg puts it, one
cannot know what one knows in a practical manner if one does not know anything to apply (Sternberg
et al. 2008). Original artwork by the author
