It's something that I think many of us will have to do at some point in our career.
I'm trying to think in my head, like, is there ever an instance where someone who's a designer would never have to host a workshop?
You might participate in, would like a non-designer, does your PM host a design workshop? Yes, sometimes.
When we say a design workshop, how is that different than any other type of workshop? Or maybe a better question, what is the difference between a design workshop and a meeting?
The first thing that comes to mind for me is that a workshop has a very clear expected outcome.
And the emphasis of the workshop is getting a group of people together, often cross-functionally, so not just designers, but also engineers, product managers, et cetera, to come together and try to brainstorm or ideate or collaborate in real time to move like something forward.

Um, But the workshop is actually some place where you get together and you get work done.
