Workshop Tactics

Workshop Tactics is a deck of 54 workshop recipe cards. They help you kill pointless meetings and facilitate highly productive workshops with confidence.

"Workshop Tactics is the first thing I reach for when presented with a design problem and the path to a solution is always in there. I can't live without them." — Tom Newton, Head of Design at Schibsted.

These are tried, tested, and timeless tactics help give you confidence to lead your team - knowing you'll get consistent results every time. On the front of each card is the "what" and the "why/when" - and on the back, the "how".

If you're involved in any kind of problem-solving that involves an end-user - Workshop Tactics guides you through the design process using group facilitation activities.

Never get stuck
You’ll always choose the right card with our Workshop Strategy System. A simple set of questions helps you find the most useful category of tactics. It’s the perfect tool to help you when you aren’t sure where to begin, or to get unstuck if you feel lost in the middle of a project.

Clear step-by-step instructions. No jargon.

There are a lot of long-winded workshop guides out there. You just need the concise steps to run the workshop. Not a wall of text. Each workshop exercise fits on the back of a card, so you get straight to the point.

Never get stuck when following up.

You've just finished a great workshop and someone asks “so what‘s next?” The answer is on the bottom of each card. Like a choose-your-own-adventure, it points to the suggested tactics to run before and after - so you never get stuck.
