Design is your business too
summary
Three concrete workshop games claim to move design out of one head and into the organization: Design the Box forces product positioning by having teams design packaging; the KJ method uses colored sticky notes and silent grouping to produce ranked priorities in about an hour; and 6-1 sketching asks everyone for six 10–15 minute interface sketches then one refined version to surface alternative solutions. Tools are fat markers, durable sticky notes, wall space and phone photos; groups work best under eight people and the method produces faster consensus and durable priorities.
