FACILITATION SKILLS FOR DESIGNERS

grab THE CREATIVE PROCESS BY THE BALLS

SAY GOODBYE TO DESIGN PROJECTS THAT LEAVE THE TEAM FEELING DEFEATED.

Facilitation Skills for Designers was created specifically to help Art Directors, Sr. Designers, and Product Managers facilitate teams through complex creative projects. Learn to take control of the design process by seamlessly guiding your team through brainstorming sessions, design sprints, and pitch meetings.

Problem #1: Generating new ideas is hard. Brainstorming sucks.

We’ve all been in meetings where you’re supposed to “think outside the box.” Since when do any of us have a clue about what the box is or where the walls are? Being innovative is challenging enough, especially without structure or context. The good news is, there are a few companies who have become really good at generating high quantities of creative ideas, and this bootcamp includes the best techniques from all of them.

Problem #2: One person dominates the discussion.

You know it well. Sid rambles on and on while the rest of the meeting goes silent. The other participants aren’t agreeing with Sid - they’re surrendering. In order to keep your team inclusive and at maximum creativity, you’ll need to keep Sid in-line and engage the rest. Learn how to keep control of the meeting and conversation, pushing things forward while keeping a healthy mix of ideas flowing.

Problem #3: Everyone on the team is psyched by the concept - except the boss.

Without your stakeholders, there’s no project in the first place. But does that mean that every concept should be watered down before it even gets close to the door? Learn the best tactics from designers to manage client feedback, stay true to your creativity, and ship work that you’re proud of.
