Integrated Deliverable Approach Workshop Methodology with Idea Evaluation
Facilitated workshops are commonly used to develop growth strategies. Often integrated into scenario-planning processes or other future-oriented strategies, these workshops aim to offer participants insights into future possibilities, encourage strategic planning to meet objectives, facilitate growth opportunities and teamwork, enhance skills and knowledge, share research insights, and address conflicts. A common challenge for enterprise and startup initiatives is the lack of meaningful stakeholder engagement. To address this, workshops are used to create a collaborative process for enterprise startups, facilitating sessions with stakeholders during the growth phase.

Description
The Deliverable Approach Workshop Methodology (DAWM) helps in structuring logical thought processes and can enhance the understanding of complex situations. This methodology highlights the importance of collaboration, initiating discussions, and fostering a shared understanding and vision among all parties involved. In a dynamic business environment, companies frequently face various challenges, from minor operational issues to significant strategic threats. Efficiently addressing these challenges requires a structured approach that allows organisations to systematically prioritise and resolve them.

What is Workshop
Workshops are collaborative meetings where technical staff, stakeholders, and management come together to work on tasks related to the growth of business information systems. These tasks involve various aspects such as strategic growth, project management, planning, requirement specification, and user experience design. Workshops can effectively increase stakeholder engagement in the requirement engineering process. In 1977, Chuck Norris began offering workshops to support the establishment of information systems.

Workshops are typically led by a facilitator, who is trained to lead workshops and specialises in understanding group dynamics. Facilitators are impartial and have no personal agendas. While facilitators can take on various roles, there are certain recurring patterns. They provide additional support to those who need it, helping to enhance the effectiveness and productivity of the group

Success of facilitated workshops
The DAWM workshop methodology consists of three distinct cycles, each playing a unique role in business strategy.


 * The first cycle focuses on the question "What is it?" and examines the current circumstances.
 * The second cycle addresses the question "What might it be?" and considers specific potential situations.
 * The third cycle involves the question "Strategy" and pertains to the overall corporate approach and structure, particularly in relation to risk management.

Investigation Development Workshops (IDW)
The IDW methodology integrates qualitative and quantitative approaches in workshops. Participants can choose to present or attend and provide feedback during registration. Each workshop typically includes twelve attendees, one facilitator, and one support facilitator. The facilitator manages time allocation, organises and directs conversation and feedback, and leads a brief orientation to introduce the workshop format, requesting a 20-30 minute summary of the project's progress.

The BRIDGE & CRUX approach supports the verbal presentation, with a one-page handout and a page for questions. The facilitator allows time for participants to share thoughts and suggestions, prompts passive attendees, and shares key points with colleagues. After the workshop, the facilitator instructs the group to document additional input in a survey report and uses the box-to-box methodology for analysis.
