At the risk of becoming known for the phrase "I might be a bit slow on the up-take but..." I'd like to share with you designgames.com.au. Created by my friend and fellow Aussie UX expert Donna Spencer, this catalogue of workshop techniques is a great resource for anyone looking to facilitate a workshop and get useful output, anywhere during the project life cycle.
For example:
Divide the dollar Participants are provided with a list of features and $100 to ‘spend’. They distribute the money across the features according to how important those features are and explain why they have divided their money in this way.While most of these games are fairly well known to experienced practitioners (or are based on classic techniques) some have been given a fresh spin, and by publishing them to a blog and allowing feedback, Donna has allowed those newer to the field to add them to their toolbox. This is of interest to our team as we've recently done some workshop facilitation training and you can never have enough workshop activities up your sleeve!
