I designed this workshop for teams working together on specific projects. I am experimenting with the ideal number of "students", but since the workshop is meant to be hands-on and interactive I expect that we'll get the best results with 10-20 people per workshop.
After an introduction to the Pretotyping Manifesto, we looked at several examples of pretotyping in different industries, and then we set of to design and develop pretotypes specifically for the team's needs (I call this pretostorming.)
All attendees received a hard-copy of Pretotype It (of course) but also a copy of Eric Ries' excellent The Lean Startup.
Here's a photo from the workshop with the attendees showing off their schwag:
A couple of people had working pretotypes within 24 hours and the feedback from attendees has been very positive. Here's one quote from the team lead: "You are going to love this workshop! Completely energized the team -- ideas became reality only hours/days after the conclusion."
Based on the success of the pilot workshop, I've already been invited to conduct 5 more in the next 2-3 weeks and plan a lot more over the next few months.
