About this workshop

Love them or loath them, meetings are here to stay. So we need to get better at managing meetings and turn them from a productivity sink to a productivity booster. Enter the creative workshop.

By re-positioning yourself as a facilitator, you will raise your profile, increase your influence and have a greater effect on product strategy. This is a must-do workshop for any and all user experience practitioners who want to take their careers to the next level.

Stakeholder workshops are hands-on by nature, so the best way to teach these skills is through active participation. Participants will learn how to plan and moderate stakeholder workshops and how to perform a series of co-design activities or “design games” with stakeholders.
