UX Australia 2018

Half day workshop, Wednesday August 29 (morning).

Stakeholder workshops are one of the most useful techniques to foster collaboration between different teams, build empathy, create a shared vision and generate innovative ideas.
But preparing and facilitating your first stakeholder workshop can be a daunting task: What activities should I include? What do I do if one participant tries to dominate or derail the session? How do I avoid group thinking?
This half-day workshop will give you skills to prepare and facilitate more effective collaboration sessions: select the right activities for different types of workshops (research, ideation, co-design or feedback sessions), prepare the script and the materials needed and overcome common facilitation challenges.
Hands-on activities, real examples and free tools and resources will be used throughout the workshop.

What you’ll learn:

• Different types of UX workshops and what they are most useful for
• The role of stakeholder workshops at different stages of the design process
• How to prepare stakeholder workshops: objectives, participants, activities, duration, breaks…
• Common challenges and tips for facilitating more effective stakeholder workshops
