Lesson Summary

One effective workshop recipe is the Lightning Decision Jam, designed to assist a team in identifying and solving problems. The method involves several key steps:

• Capture problems related to a topic or issue.
• Prioritize the most significant problems identified.
• Reframe top problems using the "how might we" problem framing statement.
• Generate solution ideas for the prioritized problems.
• Rank and select the most promising solutions.
• Execute and apply the chosen solutions.

However, it's essential to adapt the recipe to fit the specific needs and circumstances of each situation. For instance, if a team already knows the exact problem they want to solve, some steps of the Lightning Decision Jam might not be necessary.

Facilitators should aim to understand the factors at play and adjust workshop recipes accordingly. It's crucial to:

• Assess the situation before applying a specific recipe.
• Modify the steps to align with the team's requirements.
• Combine different methods if needed to achieve the desired outcome.

By being flexible and strategic in their approach, facilitators can ensure that workshops are tailored to meet the needs of the teams they are supporting.
