A live workshop for design, product & engineering teams
AI is collapsing the walls between Product, Design, and Engineering. This interactive session helps design teams understand what's actually changing, why the old boundaries won't hold, and where the real leverage is now — through live polling, group exercises, and results the room builds together in real time.
What's inside
Exercise 1
Your Work
Think back on last week. What did you actually spend your time on?
Exercise 2
Finding Your Leverage
Rank six types of design work by where you spend your time, then by where AI has the edge.
Exercise 3
Borrow Someone Else's Job
Pick a role. What decisions do they make, what do they know that designers don't, and what could you borrow?
Exercise 4
Delete the Screens
Think of a project you're proud of. Now tell its story without a single screen.
Exercise 5
Design the Evidence
Before we commit, what would we need to learn?
Exercise 6
Your Next 90 Days
Stop / start / continue.
