What is Workshop Checklist?
Workshop Checklist is a card from the Workshop Tactics deck by Pip Decks.
In our busy lives, it’s easy to forget the basics. This checklist is a simple yet powerful reminder of the things you need to ensure a successful session.
“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.”, Benjamin Franklin
Before
- Prepare (booked room, invited people, set agenda)
- Materials (whiteboard, sticky notes and pens)
- Tech check (charger, adapter, screen, projector)
- Room (refreshments, temperature, chairs, wall space)
During
- Preamble (introductions and goal of the session)
- Instruction (explain how we are going to do that)
- Be yourself (your personality is your facilitation style)
- Be flexible (stop or change course if it’s not working)
