DiaForm is a asynchronous workshop format. It provides for untarnished workshop experiences with no need for convening in one physical space. DiaForm is also low touch: empowering self-instruction and self-direction at your own pace.

It's easy enough to start a DiaForm:

* :floppy\_disk:Download [the full set](https://position.futuring-architectures.com/extras/downloads) of canvases, examples, manual and instruction materials. [Familiarize yourself](https://position.futuring-architectures.com/workshop/checklist) on how to put them to the best of use.
* :tv:For each step in the design process, watch the provided [instruction video](#instructions). These videos capture the instruction moments of the high touch workshop.
* :bulb:Step by step, work on the design of your platform of interest. You'll be using the collaboration tools already at hand in your organisation.
* :telephone:At [scheduled moments](#check-ins), check-in online with experienced facilitators for reflection and coaching. These sessions stand in for the high touch facilitation. 

Deferring to your-preferred-collaboration tools and practices is no small matter. There's no longer the hassle of synchronising all participants on a fixed time slot. You're now free to fit with your schedule or mood—spread across days, weeks or months even. 

![DiaForm slips into your organisation's rhythm and pace](https://1051411321-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-M1kfsEQZnpIvw756Wqx%2F-M5GELX9B-PjAOns0Qz_%2F-M5GhFKQeexGkQUED-PG%2FFAST-DiaForm-Collaboration-2k.png?alt=media\&token=d0e22632-d7dc-4267-a265-7fe2e63f5ba4)

There's also no more the costs incurred for finding, reserving, and travelling to a suitable workshop location. And who knows, it may appeal to people who would not be that attracted otherwise:woman\_tipping\_hand: 

## Check-ins

DiaForm provides for scheduling check-ins with seasoned workshop facilitators. This is wholly optional and without them you will get to a valuable design outcome regardless. A check-in does inject a moment of reflection and coaching, and of taking stock of the trees *and* the forest.

Check-ins will follow your pace along the design process. One for each design layer completed is a common schedule. Condensing it to a check-ins at [Experience](https://position.futuring-architectures.com/position/experience) and [Challenge](https://position.futuring-architectures.com/position/challenge) layers is viable too.
