ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the steps to ensure the execution of ideas on design studio debriefing before participants leave on the last day. The design studio is really just the first of many steps in a product development. The final sketches represent many things: product alignment, focused direction, and starting point for future discussions. Before people leave the room, the next steps begin. The design studios are mentally exhausting. People must think, sketch, group, evaluate, vote, re-sketch, critique, order, and more. A checklist for debriefing design studio participants before they leave the room, is prepared. Within one week, participants will begin to forget the design studio. They have been slept, traveled home, cleared out their email, met with their co-workers, and resumed their schedule with all of the daily habits they have developed. Franklin D. Roosevelt pioneered the 100-day concept to measure his effectiveness while implementing the New Deal in 1933.
