Workshops take a variety of forms depending on the needs of the requesting team. Examples: organizing and facilitating ideation sessions using reserach insights as inputs to concept generation; using design thinking approaches and structured activities to move a team from a current state to visualizing a future state defining 'what has to be true' in order to manifest the future state.
