What is Workshop Culture?
The idea, coined by Alison Coward, that great collaboration is a practice, not a one-off event. Workshop Culture is about embedding the mindset and methods of effective facilitation into how a team works every day, not just reserving them for special occasions.
My perspective
In practice
Teams that embody Workshop Culture don't wait for a retreat to surface real issues or generate creative ideas. They use structured facilitation techniques (from check-ins to decision-making frameworks) as part of their regular workflow, making collaboration a habit rather than a special event.
