Working with some talented designers coming from design agencies, I’m definitely feeling the imposter syndrome that I barely know how to run an effective workshop. The only workshop format I know is Google Design Sprint. I’m curious if there’s any good resource or books or course I can use. Any recommendations? Also open to multi-day training if the expense is not crazily high.
Check out IBM design thinking (Google for it). IBM was behind on a lot of things but they somehow caught the design wave early and have been operationalizing design thinking workshops since 2014.
Facilitation: by Design through AIGA is great
AIGA is great
Depending on your specialty, there are a lot of good conferences and meetup groups you can go to.
I’m a UX designer
“This is Service Design Doing” book covers workshop facilitation
Gamestorming by Dave Grey is where I’ll gather pieces to build my workshops. There’s another one i can’t remember the title of. Working with a lot of agencies has also helped me refine my process (Ideo, Pivotal, most of them have their stuff documented). It’s been a lot of learn by doing.
The answer is in your tags. Ideo provides great resources to learn different types of workshops http://www.designkit.org/methods In terms of courses you can consider https://www.nngroup.com
