| Notes: | For our June 2009 meeting, we are very excited to have Sarah Bloomer with us to lead a workshop on collaborative and co-design. Collaborative and co-design design yields new ideas by engaging different knowledge, outlooks, goals and perspectives. It can also speed up design. Collaborative design can be done with customers, stakeholders, designers and developers. The trick is how to keep a team focused and engaged. Facilitating design is a skill with some simple rules of thumb that Sarah will share with us through a hands-on workshop. Please RSVP to info@... if you plan to attend so we can plan appropriately. Abstract: This workshop is a taster of a 3 hour workshop. We'll cover: - When to use collaborative design or co-design - Different session frameworks and agendas - Setting up a collaborative design session - When to use pre-work? - How to facilitate a collaborative session - Applying the information generated Sarah will demonstrate collaborative design techniques such as paper prototyping and idea generation techniques with participants--be ready to volunteer!
