Workshops that break routine, build momentum

Sometimes, the key to progress is breaking away from the everyday. Our expertly guided workshops create space for teams to step back, align, collaborate, and grow. Each workshop is built to meet the specific needs and skills of your team (that includes everyone from the C-Suite, to Product, and Engineering, too!). Whether centered around your product or your people, our facilitated sessions can inspire action and facilitate change.

Every engagement is different. Here's what's typical...

trophy Outcome: Refocused, realigned, and reenergized teams

timer Time: Half-day to 3-weeks

How we help

No two workshops are the same. Each typically blends presentations, hands-on practice, lively discussions, and (yes, sometimes) a bit of homework.

Workshop + Training Clients

Most workshops fall into one of these categories:

Skills Sharpening for High-Performing Teams

Master essential design and collaboration techniques like design thinking, conducting unbiased customer interviews, and fostering cross-functional alignment.

Future-Focused Strategy Workshops

Short on time, big on impact. Tackle transformative challenges—like navigating AI, aligning on vision, or kicking off the year with bold, actionable strategies—all within a timeboxed format.

Insight and Research Workshops

Uncover deep user insights with tools like journey mapping, persona development, and segmentation studies to inform smarter decisions. While offered as standalones, these types of workshops are often part of larger engagements.

Expert Workshop Facilitation

Bring your own frameworks or ideas, and let us help your team align and adopt them effectively through expert facilitation.

Design Thinking for Everyone

You don't have to be a designer to think like one. We've trained folks from many areas of business (yes, even HR teams) on how to adopt design thinking principles and processes to improve problem solving and center ideas around people.

Digital Transformation

Drawing from pillars of the Product Innovation community, we explore transformation across three categories: product, people, and leadership. Together, we align on principles for success in each of these areas and impart wisdom from the foremost voices in product, design, and business.

AI: From Ambiguity to Alignment

With AI everywhere, many teams are feeling the pressure to respond to executive demands and competitive threats. Our hands-on, five-half-day workshop guides teams through an exploration of AI’s potential and its strategic implications for the future of your product.

Bias less, learn more: Research & Synthesis Course

When it comes to user research, it can be hard to stop our biases from getting in the way—especially if we don’t know what they are. Our new Research & Synthesis course, brought to you by our friends at Voltage Control, can help even the most persuasive person learn to turn down the charm and turn up the curiosity so they can bias less and learn more from the people they talk to.

DesignMap provided ideas that helped me orient to what kind of hire I wanted and what aspirations I had for what they might accomplish. They helped find and vet candidates and provided a sounding-board. They had a material impact on the quality of hire we made.

—Dennis Kirlin, SVP & Chief Applications Officer

From day one, user experience was core to our strategy. DesignMap made us 10x more successful than even our most optimistic projections.

—Kumar Ramachandran, CEO of Cloudgenix, acquired by Palo Alto Networks

This was impressively organized. Content, people, organization, food, schedule, all of it felt well-considered and well-oiled. Nothing but back slaps and appreciation from me.
