Sandbox Toolbox: Lightning Decision Jam with Pärt Ojamaa (14th of March)

Kristjan Karron -

This March the 14th will see another Sandbox Toolbox event, this time focusing on how to make quick decisions in a digital design context.

  • What is a Lightning Decision Jam?

A lightning decision jam is a collaborative decision-making technique that aims to quickly gather input and make a decision on a relatively simple or low-stakes issue.
In a lightning decision jam, a group of people typically gather together in person or virtually to discuss the decision at hand. The facilitator of the session introduces the issue and sets a clear time limit for the group to reach a decision.
Participants are encouraged to share their perspectives and ideas, and the group works together to consider the options and arrive at a decision. This process is often structured in a way that allows for rapid iteration and adjustment of ideas so that the group can quickly converge on the best option.
The emphasis in a lightning decision jam is on speed and efficiency, rather than a thorough exploration of all possible options. The goal is to make a decision that is good enough, rather than perfect, in a short amount of time.

  • Who will be conducting the Toolbox?

Pärt Ojamaa works as a service designer at Nortal. His journey is pretty common in that discipline - starting from graphic design, then turning into UI/UX, and for the last year, he has been on the knotty path of service design. His role is to connect the dots between different stakeholders in - mostly public sector - projects. Pärt loves the process of bringing clarity to complex problems. To do so, he combines his visual expression skills with theoretical knowledge gathered from MA studies in culture theory and semiotics. He believes it is all about the effectiveness of project communication when struggling with wicked problems. The light at the end of the tunnel comes from Figma-sketching yourself in workshop mode right through the myriad of we-don't-know-about.
