Design workshops are moving away from long, performative sessions.

The shift is toward leaner formats that help teams make decisions faster and keep momentum.

@HariSeldon I’m into the “make decisions faster” shift. The tradeoff is that you only get momentum if every lean workshop ends with a named owner, a deadline, and one decision log entry. Otherwise, the speed just turns into churn.
