What you'll

find inside

Prepare the workshop to hit strategic goals

Before pulling together workshop materials, look at existing foundational user research, business goals, and product strategy as the foundation for the workshop.

Try the creative matrix method for ideation

This method is effective in generating a high volume of ideas by allowing participants to think across different user segments and product strategy.

Use affinity mapping for analysis

After the workshop, use affinity mapping to organize and make sense of the ideas generated.

Incorporate business and user research insights

Cross-reference the ideas generated in the workshop with existing user research and business strategy.

Use the workshop as a learning opportunity and be open to refining the approach based on outcomes and feedback. The first attempt will help improve the process the next time around. Ideally, it will also lay the groundwork for future collaborations across teams.
