I've been playing a lot with ChatGPT in the context of facilitation. Check the overall conversation by opening the images in this post one by one! This stuff is mind-blowing!!!!! Some conclusions: ✅ ChatGPT is wonderful for inspiration! Think of it as a co-facilitator ✅ You need to know what to ask! Problem framing and critical thinking are skills even more valuable in the age of AI ✅ The robot wont run the workshop for you ;) So the whole human element and real-time ability to adapt give facilitators even more value! ✅ I cannot wait to see the amazing abilities AI will give facilitators. One example is to use AI tools to quickly capture visually some exercises outputs without the need to be a great scribbler/sketch-noter. You can try it out at chat.openai.com :) How about you? What experiments have you been doing with AI and facilitation?

Hello from Seattle, WA! I've been asked to facilitate a virtual (MS Teams) workshop for my department next week. Our team is new to Miro, and it's been a while since I last ran a session. I was wondering, do you usually provide the Miro link ahead of time to participants? If so, how early do you typically send it out? Also, I'd love to hear any best practices and tips you have from your experience. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi all, I'm a UX designer currently contracting with a new team for a few new websites (=products) which doesn't have a project manager. It's a bit chaotic, therefore, and that's why I'm stepping up to facilitate a workshop that looks at all the projects towards a roadmap – also so I can see how best to plan the UX work – and would love to get your feedback and tips to make this workshop successful. Planned time 1.5-2 hours. - Can you think of any templates that can help to do this workshop? My current format is as follows: - intro 5min - ice-breaker 10-15 min - get to know each other more individually (do you know a better icebreaker other than '2 truths and a lie' that is a bit more personal?) - part 1 30min - what are the building blocks of a good project plan? What do we need? Building an ideal project flow - part 2 30min - defining all upcoming projects (title, description) and prioritising them - part 3 30min - completing all required information, identifying knowledge gaps, based on building blocks, to scope each project Thank you so much for your help and support 😊
