The Hague. Designers vs Stakeholders: Response Training Workshop
Details
"Make the logo bigger." "My wife doesn't like this blue." "We don't have budget for research." Tired of hearing these? Join the Projector Institute Community workshop. We are meeting to master the art of defending your work.
What is it? Think of it as an "Anti-Book Club." We’ve read the heavy theory ("Articulating Design Decisions" by Tom Greever & "UX for Business" by Joel Marsh) and distilled it into a high-speed, interactive game.
What we will do: No laptops. No screens. Just teams, drinks, and a deck of "Nightmare Stakeholder" cards. You will face real-world scenarios and practice winning the argument using two opposite strategies:
- The Diplomat: Using empathy and psychology (The T. Greever method).
- The Shark: Using business metrics and ROI (The J. Marsh method).
Who is this for? Designers and Product Managers who want to stop guessing what to say and start driving the product vision.
