Abuden. My work as a facilitator of communities and processes implies the design and delivery of workshops.

But how to design the perfect workshop?

I have never found the ultimate answer to this. Honest. It’s trial and error — and it remains forever so. If you want to do a perfect job, get out of here.

I have written about natural patterns. Check out this and this, and there is more. I strongly believe that most of the design patterns we use in the design industry reflect the patterns that occur in nature. Or no, let me get this better: Most of the design patterns that we humans use that are successful, turn out to be design patterns that are transpositions of patterns occurring in nature.
