I've been writing a series on AI Facilitation for the DSA blog — and this latest piece is the one I'm most curious to get your take on. It's called "What no one tells you when you start facilitating AI workshops." The core argument: you are not facilitating a team. You are facilitating a group of strangers who don't speak the same language. Is transitioning into AI facilitation something you're actively exploring? I ask because I keep seeing two kinds of facilitators right now. Those who feel pulled toward it ... because clients are asking, the work is there, and it feels like a natural next step. And those who aren't sure - because the AI part feels like a stretch, and they don't want to start something from scratch. But I'm more curious about where you are. Is this a transition you're moving toward — or does it feel like a different world from where you currently work?

Hey Design Sprint Masters, As facilitators, we all feel the pressure: workshops only matter if teams act on them. That led me to a basic rethink: what does a facilitator do in an AI-heavy organization? Over the past few months we’ve been shaping what we call the AI Facilitator—along with the tools and methods to help teams make AI decisions with a clear process. In Berlin this month, we’re sharing what came out of that work. It’s the biggest change we’ve made to the Design Sprint format. We’re not calling it a Design Sprint anymore. We call it the AI Workflow Sprint. Why? Because most organizations exploring AI aren’t trying to design new apps. They’re trying to redesign how work gets done: - Where AI should help or take over - Which use cases are worth building So the sprint starts with a real workflow, not a product idea. During the sprint, teams: 1. Map the current workflow 2. Spot where AI could change the process in a meaningful way 3. Redesign the workflow with people + AI together 4. Prototype the new experience 5. Test it with users We kept the core rhythm—diverge, then converge. But the thing you’re designing is the workflow, not just an interface. We’ll teach this for the first time in our AI Facilitator Training in Berlin this month.

If your business is online, SEO is working for you or against you, even when you are not actively thinking about it.
