Workshop 101: Design and Facilitation
A well-designed workshop is an excellent way to get things done. And as UXers, our skills uniquely position us to help clients and teams explore options and come to consensus, both in person and online. But successful workshops don’t happen by accident. And workshop design and facilitation aren’t really taught in school or on the job.
Workshop 101 gives participants a flexible workshop-building framework. Participants will explore workshop activities, tools, and techniques. You’ll practice leading exercises, and will leave prepared to take the next step – whether leading a working meeting or delivering a workshop at a future conference. Importantly, you’ll discover that we don’t need to be a certain kind of person to do it. All of us can design and facilitate effective workshops from where we stand right now. Join us to translate your design thinking skills to create collaborative sessions that are fun, effective, and get work done.
