The Design MC: Facilitating safe and inclusive feedback
summary
Claims a repeatable facilitation pattern: a downloadable Figma template with a critique workspace, generative session board and an FYI frame, plus a documented ritual set (weekly standup, cross‑functional jam, design review). Cites LinkedIn’s ~50/50 hybrid stat and a 20% jump in tooling startups, recommends real‑time vs asynchronous channels (Slack design‑review channel), and enforces three concrete facilitator rules: protect time, enforce rules of engagement, and read the room. Reports clearer design decisions and team buy‑in.
