2019 · Facilitation of the NurJAM urban innovation jam

NurJAM

NurJAM is an urban innovation jam run by TransforNATION in October 2019. The jam format assumes an extremely compressed cycle: teams go through the entire path — from framing a city problem to a working solution prototype — in one to two days, without weeks stretched out for research and iteration.

Such an intensive format tests the design-thinking methodology's resilience: it demands maximally dense work from facilitators and participants alike, and the ability to make decisions quickly while still preserving the quality of the idea's development.
