 So how do you get the right people in your workshops? Hi, I'm Mark and this is a service design show and this has been a question on my selling service design with confidence scores that I want to address in this video because part of our service design work is doing usually a lot of workshops and sessions and of course the quality of those sessions is For a great deal determined by the people who are in the room So how do you make sure you end up with the right team with the right people in the room and that you get stuff done? And don't waste your time Thinking it that you needed different people in the room. So a lot of the times people think they need to get the most important people out of the company in a workshop or session to make it effective you need to get the CEO or any kind of Important manager in the workshop Because they are important. Well, I've seen the opposite and once you get high level stakeholders involved in sessions Usually they don't up End up being more productive. So my approach to Getting the ideal team the ideal set of people in a workshop is to be really clear about the goals of the session and discuss that with my Client so up front before we do our plan a workshop We we sit down and we really clearly discuss what is the desired outcome of this Workshop, what do you want? What do we want to achieve? What would we be happy and? Who do we need to be in the room? In order to achieve that result. Do we want to ideate on new ideas? We would need different people. Do we want to make certain decisions that require high-level stakeholders? We might need them. Do we want to create an overview or a shared understanding that might also involve different people? so Getting the right people in the room is really all about knowing why you are doing the workshop or the session in the first place and If you're doing that, right? If the focus and the agenda of your workshop is clear, you shouldn't have a lot of difficulty Inviting those people into the room because they will understand why they are needed and what their own role is So that's my advice for getting the right people in the room and it's really important. Don't Don't skip over this make put some time and effort into this because this in the end will pay off for itself So that's how I approach this and I'm also really curious to learn How do you make sure that you get the right people in the room?
