On Monday, April 23, we kicked off our first UX Intensive event of 2012 at the Rode Hoed in Amsterdam. UXI is four days of participatory workshops focused on different aspects of the work we do: Design Strategy, Design Research, Interaction Design, and Service Design. Patrick Quattlebaum got us started by leading the Design Strategy day. Here's a glimpse of the experience.

Patrick shares the stage with a participant, who represents his team's work on business strategy sensing.

Getting your hands dirty, and getting down on your knees, is all part of the UXI experience.

So is being collaborative. These teams worked on prioritization and roadmaps.

Outside the UXI venue, when the day was done, the canals of Amsterdam were there for us. 

As well as some well deserved beer!
