Over the past few days, many of you reached out after my “What is AI Problem Framing?” newsletter with the same question: “… but how does the workshop actually work in practice?” So I wrote a detailed guide — a step-by-step breakdown of the method we use to help cross-functional teams move from vague AI pressure to clear, fundable opportunities. https://www.designsprint.academy/blog/ai-problem-framing-101-what-it-is-why-it-matters-and-how-to-use-it-in-your-organization Hope you'll find it useful :) Also, attached is s short preview for those new to our method.

This December, I’m hosting something really special in Berlin — and I’d love to see some of you there. Over the years, we’ve trained hundreds of teams, but nothing beats a small, focused group of curious, open, experienced facilitators and strategists learning together. Last time we did this — just 7 people from 6 countries — it turned out to be one of my all-time favorite learning experiences. So we’re doing it again. 💡 A 3-day intensive, combining AI Problem Framing and Design Sprints 🔥 Fully updated to reflect the AI shift in our work 🌍 Small group, big conversations, no BS It’s happening Dec 10–12 in Berlin. And yes… we’ll end our days at the Christmas markets with hot wine and even hotter takes on facilitation. Only 8 seats.

🛑 I know this might sound a bit selly, but it’s something I’m proud to finally share: Until now, we only shared this system in private trainings with teams at Google, EY, HSBC, eBay, SAP, the World Bank, and others. Why? Because it works best when the stakes are high, the environment is complex, and multiple senior stakeholders need to align — fast. But now, for the first time, we’ve made it available to the public. Especially if you’re in product, strategy, innovation — or you facilitate this kind of work for others — this is for you. It’s based on our Problem Framing method — a simple, proven structure that consistently delivers results in even the most complex environments. Here’s what’s inside the Problem Framing Playbook: ✅ A step-by-step breakdown of the 4-phase workshop ✅ How to prepare, who to involve, and what to avoid ✅ Real-world scenarios that show when (and how) to use the method ✅ Templates for every key activity in the workshop 🎯 Grab your copy here: https://www.designsprint.academy/product/the-problem-framing-playbook

Hi! 👋 My name is Núria, I’m from Catalonia and currently based in Munich, Germany. I work as a UX Lead at IU Group (private online university) designing digital experiences with a strong focus on user-centered design. Right now, I’m transitioning into workshop facilitation, combining my UX expertise with collaborative problem-solving techniques. ➡️ I bring a deep understanding of UX strategy, a passion for innovation, and a growing skill set in facilitation to the community. I’m excited to share insights, learn from others, and explore new ways to drive impactful design conversations. ➡️ From this community, I hope to refine my facilitation skills, gain fresh perspectives on running effective workshops, and connect with experienced facilitators who can help me grow in this space. 🧭 For fun, I do orienteering —running through the forest with a map and compass. I’m also a trainer, and I’ve found that planning trainings and workshops have a lot in common —both require structure, adaptability, and an understanding of how people learn and navigate challenges. Looking forward to connecting with everyone!

Hi all, I know how tricky it can be to run workshops—especially when you don’t have all the resources handy. If you haven’t had a chance to grab Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky’s book, Click, or if you’re planning to facilitate a Foundation Sprint soon and want to get ahead, I’ve got some exciting news: At Design Sprint Academy, we’ve just launched a step-by-step video series on YouTube, guiding you through the entire Foundation Sprint method! You can watch it here 👉 Foundation Sprint - All Exercises I’m still working to complete the entire series (keep an eye out—hold me accountable!).
