Design workshops - why the journey is the destination

Design workshops have become a very popular activity designers love to initiate as a great tool for solving all sorts of problems or coming up with new ideas.

But the true power of workshops and what make them really successful is lay down in their process and engagement with the different activities rather than the outcome or end results they were originally designed to achieve.

In our opening episode for season 2 of Design Explorers, Yuki and I have sat down to learn from Danyao how she use design workshops for stakeholders alignment and bringing in all the different perspectives and domain knowledge from individuals within product teams to better define problems and discover new possibilities.
