Frame the user problem
Bring the relevant observation and the question it raises. Agree which part of the experience the workshop will address.
Explore more than the first good idea.
Give a design conversation a clear problem, space for alternatives and a practical way to decide what to explore next.

Understand, explore, choose.
Make alternatives visible
Sketch several approaches with simple shapes and notes. Let people explain what each option would make easier or harder.

Select the concept with the most useful learning opportunity. Write a question to test before polishing the design.
An example session
Rethink an empty starting screen
Show the team the questions new users ask when they first arrive. Explore an example-led screen, a guided setup and a simple blank starting point. Annotate the assumptions behind each.
Take a clear concept and a focused research question into the next design step.
