After facilitating design sprints within a corporate environment along with my work as a UX designer I've made the switch and started my own design sprint agency. Today I had an interesting conversation with someone about Design sprints and Design thinking. He just read the following article: https://www-technologyreview-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.technologyreview.com/2023/02/09/1067821/design-thinking-retrospective-what-went-wrong/amp/ I feel it has some good points. Mostly around the implementation phase where the facilitator (or facilitating agency) is not really involved and the company has to figure it out themselves. Maybe the aftercare needs a bit more than just a report with a few recommendations. Should we be doing more? I was wondering wat the community thinks about this. So.... what are your thoughts?

Who would like to meet somewhere in the Netherlands in the spring? I think it would be nice to meet up with anyone who would like to chat and exchange experiences with a group of people. Let me know in the comments and I'll post a poll with some options for a day and location 🤓.

I'm curious to know what kind of facilitation everyone does...? While I recognise that Facilitation Skills/ Principles apply across all types of facilitation, I've seen a lot of posts/comments around Design Thinking, Design Sprints, UX... Apart from supporting facilitators to hone their craft, I do a lot of facilitation in the Community Engagement / Social Impact space. Strategic Planning, Community Consultation, Partnership Brokering... that kind of thing. I'm keen to see the breadth of facilitation that's in this community.

Hello Facilitators👋 I'm really curious about where everyone is from. I'd love to make this a mega post where we can see how diverse the Facilitator Club community is. Who knows, you might find a lot more people in your area than you thought! Once I have lots of answers on this post, I want to make a nice graph!
