Are you going to run an LDJ workshop?! What questions do you have about the exercises or supplies needed? Let us know below in the comments! Check out our '10 Minute Brainstorming workshop' here: ua-cam.com/video/OJ2guxkhvKU/v-deo.html
Plan to try it out in our next brainstorming meeting. Here is a summery of the steps: 1. challenges-opportunity: HMW (How might we…improve…?) 2. Big Sailboat - things working and not working (10min) Positive: write what is working well (4 min) read what is on the note (1-2 min) Negative: capture all the problems (5 min) 3. Prioritize problems (3min and 3 votes) 4. Reframe problems (3 min)-- HMW (How might we ...supports…?) 5. Ideate (6 min) 6. Prioritize solutions (6 min and 6 votes) 7. What to execute on (10 min) 8. Action plan (5 min)
I’m going to run this with a middle school class I’m teaching called “Design Sprint Challenge” - I printed out 2 of the handbooks and I think I might just play through this video
What an awesome tool and video: simple and memorable steps, real-life comments (and mistakes), and funny, too (love your 'highly scientific methods'). I can't wait to use this in a workshop next month. It will be a game-changer for that team! Thank you so much!
I am super excited to conduct my workshop using LDJ technique. so powerful and so structured it is, Thank you Jonathan for sharing every detail of it . I am pretty confident to execute it on Next week.
As product manager/product support for a SAAS company this a game changer in having a innovative meeting with many people. Can't want to facilitate this.
Hey, I recently participated a jam and now I watch this video. I enjoy the way you did it. Clear video, nice sound. Short even though it's 40minutes. We used paperclips instead of the dots. Out of necessity but they are reusable.
Brilliant, thank you. Have used the framer model before but not with the effort and impact scale. Really well delivered, as always learnt lots 👍 looking to do something with this with the team Tuesday. It will be a working hybrid model, we have the tools so feel confident. Especially after watching this
I might have been one of those asking about the duplicates, because it has happened to me in workshops and I didn't know what to do. After your hilarious comment on that, I am happy I know how to deal with that now
Have a team offsite coming up. 36 members at 6 tables of 6 people. Do all start with the same sailboat? HWM statement? Or, do you let each go it’s own way to tackle different challenges that they identify?
Amazing to hear Charlie! Please let us know how you get on! Any questions just ask! It can also be operated remotely. Check back in on our channel in an hour or so!
Thanks for this very useful approach. Could this be used to solve an organizational problem as well? Like making changes to the org structure and roles to solve problems... Anyone any experience with this?
Thanks so much for this overview, booklet etc. We're planning to run our first LDJ in the next couple days. One thing that is sort of unclear in "Step 08", I wasn't quite sure if the facilitator should just listen for suggested steps in an open dialogue and write them on a post it or if individuals should come up with three steps "alone". I reviewed the booklet, miro board and video but it still seems a bit foggy. We're conducting this remotely btw! Again thanks so much for all of the great material!!
QUESTION: I'm going to be doing an LDJ for a group of 60 people within a single company. I'll break them into 12 groups of 5. The question is: After the sailboat exercise, each of the groups will have a different set of prioritized problems, which means that this group of 60 could end up trying to solve 12 different challenges, and eventually coming up with 12 different 2-week tests. This doesn't seem ideal to me. How-and at what point-do I get them all on the same page? Or, if that's not the answer, how do I coordinate all these different groups/problems/HMW statements/tests?
at 30.49, you start in the middle of the IMPACT line. that assumes that downward would be a negative impact. I would have thought that all suggestions would have some impact otherwise why would they have been suggested. to overcome this, i would start the sticky in at the bottom of the impact line and go up from there. otherwise, you're going to topload the chart. Same goes for effort. theres no such thing as negative effort. so overall, youre initial sticky start point is the bottom left. what do you think?
Thanks a lot for sharing this method with us! It lead to an actual action plan within a very short time. Our broad challenge was "How might we change/enhance our produts or product portfolio to really excite our users and customers?". Unfortunately defining the problems with this brought up flaws in our exsting processes and the whole thing turned a bit backward oriented and we started optimizing stuff that is already there instead of inventing something new. Do you have an advice how we could utilize the concept a bit more in the "product design and product innovation" direction?
Hi Jonathan. Enjoyed this tutorial. I'm looking to apply this workshop within my IT support team to help us run meetings more effectively, improve collaboration and bring forth more ideas to resolve the biggest issues we're facing.
Great channel to find. Amazingly helpful video! Pretty sure the duplicates is an issue due to ownership / being seen/heard aka ego/survival reaction vs. being detail oriented, if that were the case, what response would the facilitator offer to work through that quickly? Some workplaces that don't have recognition have a correlation to teritorialism.
Hi Aeryana! Not sure if by ‘duplicates’ you’re referring to duplicate sticky notes from different participants, but if so, this isn’t something to worry about. Having duplicate sticky notes is a natural part of every workshop. The way to handle it is once everyone has finished voting, you take a look through all the notes to see if any duplicates should be combined and their votes merged. And since all sticky notes are anonymous, you don’t need to worry about someone taking it personally when their sticky note was de-duped (because the essence of their idea was accounted for already on other sticky notes). Hope this helps!
First of all, thank you very much for your step-by-step video explanation; it's essential and helpful 🙏🥳 Question: Imagine if the team generated 30 or more ideas. Should we expend the time on the voting process🗳? Because it's difficult to read them all, just for 6 mins. Thank you again!
Great video, thanks for sharing this - quick Q: what was your experience with people who questions your "scientific method" - what to do if choosing between 1, 2, or 3 ideas with the same vote becomes a challenge? Is the lead stakeholder the one who decides?
You just choose the left on? haha no it's a good point, generally there will be some rumblings about this but you can always re-visit the other another time, they're not just discarded. Presumably the most senior person will have a view on this though yes :P
Thanks for this content AJ team! (this vid particularly) . I've run a few awesome workshops based off your old LDJ vid but this one!..so much more detail! love it. Yes, I have a question - Whats the most common up-sell service/product you've noticed from running these workshops? Let me rephrase, in your experience, whats the most common service you either refer or provide as a result of these workshops? ( Excited to see what the online session looks like ( and receiving your workshop book))
Hey Rob, great question! Usually it's a full on Design Sprint! In all honesty, the LDJ is a great precursor to a Sprint, either the way we package them, as a four week project, or the original 5 day workshop. Not only have you given people a new way to work, but the solutions generated in the LDJ lead to great Sprint challenges to execute on! The LDJ takes so many principles from the sprint, it encourages this new and innovate way of working. Definitely recommend trying to package the two together!
Thanks so much. Love your hands-on approach. I tried this a couple of times and had two recurring issues: 1.) People are frustrated when their ideas are put aside. LDS is about not addressing all the problems and therefore people tend to feel cut off. 2.) Like in your example the initial question (“office is too noisy”) is pretty close to the final how-might-we (“environment that supports quiet work”). That’s something I see a lot. People tend to feel like they are walking in circles. Is that something you experience, too? Or do I just need to become a better facilitator?
Hey Matthias! We hear ya. You can literally keep all those additional ideas and revise them later. We realise it frustrates people having ideas seemingly left behind, BUT you can just revist them later. The initial question is simply to give a framing to the exercise. You don't really even need to feature that, but it helps to align people on the problem area you want to work on. Does this help? Please let us know if you have any more questions!
AJ&Smart thanx for your quick reply. Of course you are right: I just have to make clear, that the good thing about a LDJ is that it’s so fast an can easily be done several times. I guess getting everyone on track with a quick introduction, what to expect and what frustrations might come up, should do the trick. And that’s a thing you certainly do when starting a LDJ with a fresh team. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for making this video! I want to start a business with a small group of people and I love the idea of using structured time to focus on one thing like in the LDJ - but does anyone have any idea what adaptations might be neeeded? For example, we don't really have sailboat items of "what is going well" since we haven't started. Is there another similar tool for new teams or businesses?
Hi! Is it possible to use this workshop to solve specific work issues? How should we design the homepage of our website? or How should we decide on all of our activations dates for next year? Thanks
I love your videos and I am using it for a workshop I will be delivering at work (Government). I’m hoping to get the department to send me to both your facilitation and workshop training. In the meantime, I’m being asked to develop a workshop to help teams determine their own mission and mandate (a big re-org just occurred). Do you have any video of exercises on the subject?
Thank you Mathieu! Glad our videos have been helpful to you! We don't have a video that addresses your specific challenge. However, you could head over to our free community - Facilitator Club - and post your question there. I'm sure either a member of our team or a community member will be able to help you. We also have a weekly coaching call on Tuesdays where you can also ask your questions. Here's the link to the community facilitatorclub.com/ Hope this was helpful! Cheers
Thanks for a great video - super helpful, clear and detailed enough to act on. I have a workshop coming up where I am facilitating a discussion on a set of action items that have been agreed upon through a consultation process. The session is to get buy-in from multiple stakeholders - around 20 in the room, who come from different areas of expertise, government and non-government organisations. They all have some skin in the game and are responsible for implementing aspects of the action items. Would you use the LDJ workshop to triage which action items get discussed first? On a side note - Any suggestions on how to work through predefined action items with multiple stakeholders that may have individual issues/needs? The sector is healthcare and attendees range from physicians, hospital general managers, government departments who are responsible for funding initiatives, nursing associations etc. Thanks again for this great resource and thanks in advance for your help.
Hi Leanne! Yes, an LDJ would likely help the group align on the top priority action items. We would advise that you try to simulate how the group would go through to see if there are any adjustments to the standard LDJ format that you might need to make to suit your agenda. It sounds like a high-stakes environment so you’ll need to allow for some time-boxed discussion and try to estimate the timings beforehand so the workshop wouldn’t run over time. It’s not clear from your comment whether there will be a decider. If not, then you need to be extra careful about managing the time, the discussions, and keeping things moving. You’ll need define and agree on some sort of way to move on when you don’t have a majority buy-in. Hope this helps!
Hi guys I have to animate a LDJ session with people who are not part of the same company or team. What kind of generic challenge.s could I use for the demo ? Thank you for your help.
Awesome! This sounds very interesting. Actually, the way you explained things with those little funny moments in between 😅 really helped me understand it. Although I agree with all the points you made but one thing I still want to question is I've found it pretty hard that people inside a single room can work quietly for so long! What's your say on that?
I ran my first design sprint and almost all of us got fired. The solution presented was completed out of the budget. How can we create solutions feasibly?
I saw you have 10 minutes long brainstorming exercise video, what's the difference between 10 mins brainstorming workshop and LDJ workshop? Do they have different purposes?
Hi! Good video. I’m a subscriber. Q: What is that paper you’re drawing on? Is it a flip pad? Looks like it. Says king on it. Can’t find it to buy. But I want that… :) & Your link doesn’t go to a specific product. It goes to lists of rolled out white boards. Not paper flip pads. Hmm … Ok magic paper is adhesive?? Didn’t know that. I see easel pads but they’re not that big. What is the size of your board? Thanks
I really like this method, thanks for the walk-though. I'm wondering how to integrate the outcomes into a long-term strategy, for instance if your applying this method to planning a new product or a marketing strategy?
I already know LDJ as your huge fan - duh! :D I have a question though: did you do this remotely? I work 100% remotely for almost 7 months now for a very big company and I want to help them solve problems faster. Do you have any tips for a remote LDJ in Miro?
Check out JustMad's content. I believe Raz and Ana created a variation of the LDJ in Miro, but I'm not 100% sure. AJ&Smart did have one earlier but I don't know what happened to it.
Hey Turisma! Thanks for the love! We literally have a follow up video coming out in the next few days where we ran a remote LDJ. It shows you how we run the exercises in Miro and what the template structure looks like! Stay posted!
Dallas Design Sprints @JustMad has a 4-point series on Remote Design Sprints (plus a Top 10 Questions). Many of the insights apply to Remote LDJs too. Here is Part 1: ua-cam.com/video/Fie86YlHrn4/v-deo.html
Here's a link to AJ&Smart's video on Remote Design Sprints: ua-cam.com/video/IFHfsRNTGCM/v-deo.html which has a lot of great content for running remote sessions: ua-cam.com/video/IFHfsRNTGCM/v-deo.html
Hey Johnathan, Thanks for the awesome tutorial. A quick question though; the silent no discussion method is great for getting things done quickly and giving everyone a voice, but sometimes I find that if people get the chance to see each others ideas before voting, they could build on it and it could give them a better idea. What is your opinion on this? Would it make sense to give people a chance to look at all the posted ideas *before* voting and give them another minute to add anything else?
I ran my first design sprint and almost all of us got fired. The solution presented was completed out of the budget. How can we created solutions feasible ?
Well firstly if you saved your company / team a bunch of resources in a much shorted period of time then that's a very valid outcome! But to help further, what kinds of solutions were generated? Why were they not feasible?
@@AJSmart Hi, thank you for getting back to me so fast. I already downloaded the pdf format, but wanted to have a physical one, just like the one you guys created for the Workshopper Playbook
If you are doing this with customers, asking them for ideas that YOUR company will need to implement, do you 1. Skip step 7 (impact effort) or 2. Invite company personnel to weigh on the “effort” or 3. Do step 7 later with only internal company employees or 4. Have customers do a modification of step 7 where they just weigh in on “impact”? If the latter, I guess an xy axis would need to change to a line (from least to most impact)?
I really hate the way this method is used by people at work who ignore deep problems and keep taking actions and as a result keep moving in circles instead of identifying the deep rooted problems
just a thought not. dig, maybe don't call it duplicates how about reframe them as similar statements .. as duplicate means... well duplicate so i can see why this gives people room to be silly :)

thousands of dollars for my Design Major and I learned so much more here than in many of my University classes.... Thank you :) !
Hey Lana thanks for your continued trust! We hope the learning won't stop :)
I am super excited to conduct my workshop using LDJ technique. so powerful and so structured it is, Thank you Jonathan for sharing every detail of it . I am pretty confident to execute it on Next week.
As product manager/product support for a SAAS company this a game changer in having a innovative meeting with many people. Can't want to facilitate this.

Only UX Designer in a new company. LDJ looks like a perfect workshop bring UX awareness into projects.
Hey, I recently participated a jam and now I watch this video. I enjoy the way you did it. Clear video, nice sound. Short even though it's 40minutes.
We used paperclips instead of the dots. Out of necessity but they are reusable.
Brilliant, thank you. Have used the framer model before but not with the effort and impact scale. Really well delivered, as always learnt lots 👍 looking to do something with this with the team Tuesday. It will be a working hybrid model, we have the tools so feel confident.

Wow I feel very smart after watching it
I might have been one of those asking about the duplicates, because it has happened to me in workshops and I didn't know what to do. After your hilarious comment on that, I am happy I know how to deal with that now

I really like this method, I´m going to use it with my team. And I enjoyed the video, very well explained and presented.
Amazing to hear Charlie! Please let us know how you get on! Any questions just ask! It can also be operated remotely. Check back in on our channel in an hour or so!
Thanks for this very useful approach.
Could this be used to solve an organizational problem as well? Like making changes to the org structure and roles to solve problems...
Anyone any experience with this?
Question: Tips on how to include people who are visually impaired or totally blind to the process?
Such a good workshop. Also check out those tiiiiiiiime stamps!
much time stamp many wow
Thanks so much for this overview, booklet etc. We're planning to run our first LDJ in the next couple days. One thing that is sort of unclear in "Step 08", I wasn't quite sure if the facilitator should just listen for suggested steps in an open dialogue and write them on a post it or if individuals should come up with three steps "alone". I reviewed the booklet, miro board and video but it still seems a bit foggy. We're conducting this remotely btw! Again thanks so much for all of the great material!!
Love the original version, and now I love the updated LDJ even more! 😎🙌🏼❤️

Do you have an advice how we could utilize the concept a bit more in the "product design and product innovation" direction?
On the effort/impact scale, do you consider money as part of effort? Of course, buying stuff is quick but sometimes fund is limited.
How might we make this awesome problem-solving workshop idea use less paper?
Excellent content.
Great work Jonathan & team
Thanks a lot Jesse! Much appreactiated!
Glad I found this channel! Your videos are so good!
Did you also have the participant vote for the 1 HMW? The one carried over to Step 5?
Great work. Thank you.
A really cool and very useful workshop, thanks guys.
Hi Jonathan. Enjoyed this tutorial. I'm looking to apply this workshop within my IT support team to help us run meetings more effectively, improve collaboration and bring forth more ideas to resolve the biggest issues we're facing.
Glad it was helpful!
Do you also use LDJ to set strategy company goals or do you have another approach (workshop) to tackle this?
Great channel to find. Amazingly helpful video! Pretty sure the duplicates is an issue due to ownership / being seen/heard aka ego/survival reaction vs. being detail oriented, if that were the case, what response would the facilitator offer to work through that
quickly? Some workplaces that don't have recognition have a correlation to teritorialism.

This is very helpfull thank you
Thanks for a great video - super helpful, clear and detailed enough to act on. I have a workshop coming up where I am facilitating a discussion on a set of action items that have been agreed upon through a consultation process.

Where's the link for the ebook please?
I ran my first design sprint and almost all of us got fired. The solution presented was completed out of the budget. How can we create solutions feasibly?
Ahh see below! Hope that helps?!
Can you also create a video about how to evaluate current products or apps using workshops? OR LDJ? OR Sprint?
I saw you have 10 minutes long brainstorming exercise video, what's the difference between 10 mins brainstorming workshop and LDJ workshop? Do they have different purposes?
For step 2, where everybody is writing the problems, how can you do it remotely? Especially if it's anonymous

Hi Jonathan, thanks for the tutorial on LDJ. I can't seem to find the PDF's link.

Hey buddy how about a pdf of that workshopers book of yours.
I already know LDJ as your huge fan - duh! :D I have a question though: did you do this remotely? I work 100% remotely for almost 7 months now for a very big company and I want to help them solve problems faster. Do you have any tips for a remote LDJ in Miro?
Check out JustMad's content. I believe Raz and Ana created a variation of the LDJ in Miro, but I'm not 100% sure. AJ&Smart did have one earlier but I don't know what happened to it.
Hey Turisma! Thanks for the love! We literally have a follow up video coming out in the next few days where we ran a remote LDJ. It shows you how we run the exercises in Miro and what the template structure looks like! Stay posted!
@@AJSmart Can't wait to see this. Have been planning to do the LDJ Workshop with my team now that everyone is WFH.
Dallas Design Sprints @JustMad has a 4-point series on Remote Design Sprints (plus a Top 10 Questions). Many of the insights apply to Remote LDJs too. Here is Part 1: ua-cam.com/video/Fie86YlHrn4/v-deo.html
Here's a link to AJ&Smart's video on Remote Design Sprints: ua-cam.com/video/IFHfsRNTGCM/v-deo.html which has a lot of great content for running remote sessions: ua-cam.com/video/IFHfsRNTGCM/v-deo.html
💚💙😍👍👍 Amazing Presentation. This video is extremely engaging. I #BrainBlitzAudios was aided by it a lot.
Thanks a lot! Glad you liked it! We wanted this to be a go to facilitation guide as much as a step by step guide.
Hey Johnathan,
Thanks for the awesome tutorial. A quick question though; the silent no discussion method is great for getting things done quickly and giving everyone a voice, but sometimes I find that if people get the chance to see each others ideas before voting, they could build on it and it could give them a better idea. What is your opinion on this? Would it make sense to give people a chance to look at all the posted ideas *before* voting and give them another minute to add anything else?
I ran my first design sprint and almost all of us got fired. The solution presented was completed out of the budget. How can we created solutions feasible ?
Well firstly if you saved your company / team a bunch of resources in a much shorted period of time then that's a very valid outcome! But to help further, what kinds of solutions were generated? Why were they not feasible?
@@AJSmart We are looking for a new kind water filtration
Definitely, design sprint fits in looking for digital solutions and in this perspective it is great. But for no digital solutions, it has to improve.
20:18 quite ≠ quiet 😅
Thanks! Can we run this remotely? How?
Hey Sehan! We literally have a video on this coming out late this week or early next! We have a shareable Miro template too! It'll be with you soon!
AJ&Smart nice! I was looking for that, how to run a LDJ remotely. I tried this once in person and it works very well... thank a lot guys!
Great video!
How can I get the PDF?
Is there a way to buy the book from somewhere?
Hey Sergiu! You can download it from our Workshopper blog: www.workshopper.com/lightning-decision-jam
@@AJSmart Hi, thank you for getting back to me so fast. I already downloaded the pdf format, but wanted to have a physical one, just like the one you guys created for the Workshopper Playbook
@@SergiuNaslau Hey Sergiu! Sorry, we don't sell these anymore.
great
Ta!
Surprised to see you can work in Germany
Hey, we actually filmed this weeeeeks ago!
If you are doing this with customers, asking them for ideas that YOUR company will need to implement, do you 1. Skip step 7 (impact effort) or 2. Invite company personnel to weigh on the “effort” or 3. Do step 7 later with only internal company employees or 4. Have customers do a modification of step 7 where they just weigh in on “impact”? If the latter, I guess an xy axis would need to change to a line (from least to most impact)?
Hey Bonnie! That all customer suggestions should be implemented anyway. We recommend following option 3.
Great, I want to introduce your tool on the Chinese learning platform?
Of course, the source will be noted
May I? I am a leading practitioner in China
I'm seeing people across the world ripping him off without crediting him so you're already being more courteous than those people.
im not a team player
video to good
Thanks Erick! It's the 'Lord of The Rings' of LDJ videos!
cool
I've now seen so many AJ&SMART videos, that I can tell that Jonathan has an issue with bad/dried out pens ;)
So true! 😂

Problem is people these days lack COMMON SENSE - AND CRITICAL THIKING due to AUTOMATIONS
I love your writing and drawing skills even after sooo many sprints and hanging around creative types. Learning disability? lol!! Just kidding.

what have you ever created and was it your idear who owned it was it the coulors for googal infants
Workshops sound dangerously sexy
Hahahah... Who would have guessed!
Hi sisters
Oh hi!
I really hate the way this method is used by people at work who ignore deep problems and keep taking actions and as a result keep moving in circles instead of identifying the deep rooted problems
haha pedantic is an excelent word.
just a thought not. dig, maybe don't call it duplicates how about reframe them as similar statements .. as duplicate means... well duplicate so i can see why this gives people room to be silly :)
