We designed a ‘Learning by Doing’ experience in a 2-day classroom setting followed by one Personal Online Coaching session for you to learn how fo facilitate Design Thinking workshop sessions for mixed audiences.
Facilitation Skills Assessment Facilitation Skills Assessment, is the training’s start and serves to help the participant to be aware of his/her strengths and improvement areas. At the end of the training, the participant is ready to facilitate sessions and is also aware of further improvement.
The objective of the 2-day course is to understand your facilitation skills’ strengths and improve them through a combination of facilitation experiences and coaching with a balanced mix of theory and practice.
Core Design Thinking Workshop Flow Core DT Workshop Flow provides the participants with a basis from which they can adjust the workshop’s flow based on the specific problem statement that needs to be addressed. Participants will get familiar with the ‘idea generation’ workshop.

Energy Management
Facilitation Team Management
Facilitating a Design Thinking workshop
Energy Management allows to seek alignment over the energy level & mindset required for the session. It is valuable to adress different pivotal moments in a workshop, e.g. low energy, need for creativity. It allows to recognize signs of low energy in groups (e.g. body language, disconnecting participants).
Facilitation Team Management is important to transform the participants into a tight-knit group prone to work together and have fun. It involves creating groups and design activities to strengthen team spirit. Involving all participants in the process & activities is useful to gather rich & diverse input.
Facilitating a Design Thinking workshop is the occasion to put into practice the learnings from the course. From designing the workshop’s flow to understanding (and then reframing) the problem statement, participants will be exposed and will reflect on the main aspect of a DT workshop.
