Dave Gray on Gamestorming: Design Practices for Co-creation and Engagement

Posted by
Dave Gray talks on using games to help design products and work. A key point I liked was that by involving users and clients in the creation of products (and knowledge artefacts like user stories and requirements) you get them championing your project efforts in a much more engaged way. Enjoy.

  1. This is a great talk - really useful ideas on how to approach group design and thinking exercises.

    I have found the book to be a really good resource too - short, simple instructions for loads and loads of different games and techniques. Great for getting workshop ideas/preparation flowing:
