+The Disney Method is a structured brainstorming technique that uses three distinct perspectives—**the Dreamer, the Realist, and the Critic**—to develop and refine ideas. Here's a workshop plan tailored to an MSP dealing with automation, standardization, and improving efficiency for companies with 20-30 employees:

+- **Activity**:
+  - Groups present their plans.
