In this episode, I have a conversation with Johan Holst, freelance product designer and workshop facilitator. We discussed Johan’s journey from visual designer to UX designer to workshop facilitator. He shares his advice for producing successful workshop outcomes, when to not utilize a workshop, and how to improve meetings by visualizing your collaborative notes. Topics also include: Lightening Demos, Storyboarding, Consultancy vs. Agency, Pre-workshop alignment, Remote Work, Utilizing ideation workshops instead of presenting research findings, and more!
