Inside the Week-Long Workshop That Replaced Discovery
A Melbourne practice compresses months of research into five days in the same room.
By Nina Corcoran
Instead of a discovery phase measured in months, Common Ground runs one week with the client in the studio every day.
Monday is listening, Wednesday is sketching, Friday is a decision. Nothing is presented that was not made that week.
In practice
Clients pay a fixed fee for the week and can walk away at the end of it.
Five days is long enough to be honest and short enough to stay focused.
