1WHAT IS DESIGN STUDIO?

How it Works
Present Critique Sketch Refine/Repeat321 4
Group provides positive and negative
feedback
Steal the best ideas – incorporate feedback and refine concepts
Present ideas to your group from a user-
focused POV
Generate ideas through quick rounds
of sketching

• Generate eight ideas in 8 minutes – they should be distinct concepts, and can be very rough.
• Present & Critique with your group – 5 minutes each.
Round 1
Monday, April 8, 13
![Page 18: IA Summit 2013: Collaborative Design](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103109/5440f15eafaf9f5a208b45b8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Steal the best ideas from your group – combine them into 4 refined concepts, with a little more detail, in 10 minutes.
• Present & Critique with your group – 5 minutes each.
Round 2
Monday, April 8, 13
![Page 19: IA Summit 2013: Collaborative Design](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103109/5440f15eafaf9f5a208b45b8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• Collaborative Design – Divide & conquer to deepen one concept, incorporating the best elements by working together for 20-30 minutes.
• Present & Critique with the entire group, 5 minutes per team – vote on leading concepts.
Round 3

• Creates shared understanding around the design challenges, user needs and functional scope.
• Produces leading design patterns through iteration and consensus building.

• Research informs well-defined design challenges.• Background is presented at the beginning of the
workshop. • Participants break into teams of 4 or 5 for three rapid
rounds of sketching, presentation and critique and then refine ideas.
• The whole group gathers together after the third round to regroup and build consensus.
Overview of the Workshop

![Page 28: IA Summit 2013: Collaborative Design](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103109/5440f15eafaf9f5a208b45b8/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Tips: Sketching
Everyone can sketch!
It’s about quantity NOT quality.
Focus on getting the idea down on paper, then refine.

• Persona-first thinking should always lead presentation of designs.
• It’s about selling a concept and getting to the best solutions through collaboration.
• The art of critique – focus on articulating the strengths and weaknesses of each and every design solution.
Tips: Presentation & Critique

• Aligning stakeholders on priority and scope.• Exploring a problem space from a user-focused
perspective.• Educating collaborators on how context impacts a
person’s needs, and what to expect from our iterative product design process.
• Working through internal politics, agendas, bad ideas and constraints.

• A simple brainstorming method you can run on-the-fly in an hour – it requires investment and preparation.
• A means to identifying a fleshed-out approach to implementation.
• A decision-making tool – consensus is different than approval.
What its not:

• Scheduling is a challenge – getting a group of stakeholders in a room to sketch for six hours is sometimes not so easy.
• Environment is essential – table space, ambient music, healthy nourishment and the right leader.
• Preparation – a well-framed set of challenges is essential in addition to a solid understanding of the participants roles & relationships.

People-focused Research
Understanding not only user behavior across context, but also needs and behaviors of internal stakeholders is essential.

![Page 35: IA Summit 2013: Collaborative Design](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103109/5440f15eafaf9f5a208b45b8/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Frame the Challenge
Sketching is uncomfortable enough, without a clearly defined challenge your participants will struggle to dig-in.

Provide some Inspiration
Thought-starters should be easily accessible by each participant as they hit mental blocks – a look at competitors
and innovators can help ignite creative sparks.

Moderation & Critique
A strong leader to guide the session is an essential component – to both keep the loudest voice in the room in check and
encourage participants to push their critique.
