Thanks Jono. That’d be great. I’m a member of that UX Meetup Group too, but it was the public sector slant of what you’re doing here that particularly appealed! All the best.

Hi Neil,
Thanks for getting in touch.
Although there’s nothing confirmed yet, we are arranging another meet-up and we can drop you an email nearer the time. There’s also a regular Edinburgh UX meetup (not public sector specific) which is well worth checking out if you haven’t been already.
Thanks,
Jono

Hi, Just stumbled across this post… Are these meet ups still happening? Be great if I could tap into this network and link up with other public sector UXers.

Comment on Designing a discovery workshop by Jonathan Ellis

Hi Emma – thanks for getting in touch. Here’s Kate Saunderson’s reply… “For each three hour session we structure it into ice breaker, solo thinking time, group thinking and presenting back to room. This can be presented differently with different tools, depending if it is exploration or solution format. In the morning session the icebreaker usually takes the form of a drawing exercise, where people map out their hopes, fears and role. The solo thinking time is about engaging with the questions and having time to check in with yourself, this leads to group thinking stage where if possible facilitators are present to scribe and facilitate the discussions which takes place on post its and big brown sheets of paper. The presenting to the room challenges the group to review what they have been discussing and pull out a narrative that they can share. I would be interested to hear your thoughts of techniques you use to get people doing.” Kate Saunderson
Thanks.
Jono

it’s great to hear how you approached the workshops and I’m pleased to hear they were a success. I was interested to understand what stimulus you used to support and facilitate the discussions? We typically use a variety of different techniques in workshops like this so that people aren’t only talking but also doing and thinking more creatively and often in a different way to their usual day-to-day business. Did you find certain methods worked better than others> Thanks again for sharing.
