90-Minute Design Consensus Workshop
When the team is split on design direction
About this session
Design reviews often stall when a team is split between multiple directions, leading to circular debates that delay production. This session provides a 90-minute framework to move stakeholders from disagreement to a documented decision with clear, actionable next steps.
Why it works
The structure forces a shift from subjective preference to objective evaluation by separating the critique phase from the final selection. This prevents the loudest voices from dominating the room and ensures the final direction is based on project goals rather than individual opinions.
What you’ll walk away with
- Clear actionable outcomes from a 2-step facilitated process
- Increased participant engagement and buy-in
- Documented decisions and next steps
- Improved team alignment on the topic
Who it’s for
Product Designers, UX Researchers
