Designing and Facilitating Better Workshops
summary
Practical playbook for running workshops: a tested checklist of 16 design aspects (time, size, framing, power dynamics) plus low-tech and digital tools—ethnographica deck for quick persona prompts, an emotions wheel and anonymous Menti/Slack exports that produce a PDF of inputs. Techniques include the liberating-structures “design the worst possible solution” to surface taboo risks and a mirrored anonymous survey that exposes dissent (leadership initially resists but often adapts). Typical constraints: 60 minutes, under 20 people, frequent hybrid attendance.
