Swedish term or phrase: förutsättningslöst
I am having a hard time thinking of the proper English equivalent. I see what they mean here is that there is nothing concrete expected, there is no right or wrong, etc., but is there any way of expressing it more succinctly in English?


Mer teamwork … hur ska vi lösa uppgiften på bästa sätt. I och med att alla människor är olika så kan man inte ha standardlösningar utan gruppen är bäst på att lösa sina problem, det är det vi försöker jobba med. Vi har ett projekt som kallas ”Gruppåtaganden” och försöker få de här grupperna att sitta ned och ***förutsättningslöst*** titta på ”hur kan vi förbättra vårt arbete?”. De ska producera lite protokoll och ha möten och ha de här rutinerna. Sedan ska det rendera i åtgärder och för det får man en bonus /…/ Det här har vi sagt till grupperna ”det är ***förutsättningslöst***”, ingenting vi säger att ni ska uppnå si eller så, utan det viktiga är att ni sätter er ned och resonerar med er arbetsledare och tillsammans i gruppen kommer fram till ”vad är det vi kan förbättra?” och ”hur kan vi göra vårt arbete bättre?”.

without preconceptions / brainstorming / blue sky
Explanation:
"without preconceptions" is I think the closest translation, but if this text were written in English I suspect people would use terms like brainstorming / "blue sky" to indicate that the aim was to get fresh innovative ideas

without preconditions


Explanation:
This is one possibility which I feel fits the context. There is no particular answer that has to be arrived at and no assumptions or presumptions being made. The discussion can take whatever direction it needs to take.
