Description
Does your workplace need to become more creative and innovative? Have teamwork and cross-functional collaboration become vitally important to your success? In today’s increasingly fast-moving business environment, individuals, teams, partners, and customers must learn how to work more creatively together. This kind of cross-functional, creative collaboration requires new skills and practices.
Gamestorming is a holistic collaboration approach that makes it possible for everyone in the organization to participate in creative and design-oriented activities. Whether it’s planning a meeting, generating ideas, understanding customers, creating prototypes, or making better decisions, Gamestorming is a way for groups to “work better together”.
In this workshop, led by Dave Gray, co-author of Gamestorming, you will learn how to increase engagement, collaboration and design thinking at work, leading to faster, better, insights and outcomes.
Workshop structure
This workshop is very hands-on – a combination of discussing how to run the games, and actually practicing them.
Target audience
This workshop is not just for UX folks. It is great for anyone who would like to work more creatively with their teams and colleagues. If you have to run collaborative workshops, brainstorm ideas with a team or facilitate discussions, this workshop is for you. Even if you would just like to make your meetings more interesting, this is for you.
