The "Getting Started" phase of the workshop is crucial for setting the right tone and fostering an open, collaborative environment. Participants introduce themselves through a creative exercise that sparks engagement and helps establish their motivations. The use case is then presented, ensuring everyone understands the focus of the session and is ready to contribute.
Let’s summarize what you’ve learned:
- Create a Welcoming Atmosphere:
Start the workshop by setting clear expectations and fostering a safe, open environment for sharing ideas.
- Participant Introductions:
Use a short exercise where participants introduce themselves with a profile and thought-provoking question to spark engagement.
- Profile Sharing:
Allocate 1 minute per participant for sharing their profile and keep the profiles visible throughout the workshop.
- Present the Use Case:
Have a knowledgeable participant present the use case to ensure everyone understands the focus.
- Organize Breakout Teams:
If there are multiple use cases, form breakout teams to focus on different use cases for a more personalized discussion.
