Participative Design Workshops, are an organisational change practice that helps to build a fully participative workforce, by engaging all the teams in co-designing how they will operate in the newly adapted structure. Participative Design Workshops involve as many workers from an organisation or area as possible, usually in groups of 24-36 people, who work in small groups of 6 to 8.
The Participative Design Workshop focuses on real business needs, management priorities and parameters, and the logistics of re-designing the work. During the sessions, participants analyse their work, design new, adaptive structures, and plan in detail the action steps required to implement their designs.
