Lightning Decision Jam Facilitation

Transform your team's decision-making process with our Lightning Decision Jam (LDJ) template – a rapid, structured workshop framework that takes you from problem identification to actionable solutions in under 60 minutes. Perfect for breaking through decision paralysis and driving results-focused outcomes.

Lightning Decision Jam is a time-boxed collaborative exercise that eliminates endless discussions and replaces them with a clear, action-oriented framework. This template guides facilitators through a proven three-phase process (Collect, Create, Commit) that transforms vague problems into concrete action items without getting stuck in debate cycles.

For consultants and strategists facing:

Teams stuck in circular discussions without making decisions

Meetings dominated by the loudest voices rather than the best ideas

Difficulty prioritizing multiple challenges or opportunities

Lack of clear action items after brainstorming sessionsLDJ creates a structured environment where every voice is heard, decisions are made objectively, and the path forward is clear and actionable.

Collect Phase (15 minutes)

Create Phase (15 minutes)

Commit Phase (20 minutes)

Ideal LDJ sessions include 4-8 participants, though the template can be adapted for larger groups with proper time management.

While not a replacement for all meetings, LDJ is perfect for decision-making sessions that typically devolve into unproductive discussions.

Many design teams and product squads run weekly LDJs to maintain momentum and continuously address emerging challenges.
