Problem Framing Workshop

Problem Framing Workshop

You might not have noticed it, or perhaps it changed so quickly that you might not even be aware of it, but work has changed. The borders of our job have become blurred, and even the possible directions have increased tremendously. Now more than ever, finding focus in our work has become more critical than ever. Whether you're planning on running a Design Sprint or are defining your OKRs for next quarter, being able to run a Problem Framing workshop is a powerful skill.

When to use our Problem Framing Workshop?

• Clarify what the expected outcomes are

• Help your stakeholders align and make better decisions
