Many consider the workshop format to be a promising way to deal with a wide variety of topics and problems, and it continues to enjoy great popularity in organizations. For example, workshops are used for campaign and product development, or they are part of more comprehensive reorganization or strategy processes. In some cases, they are understood as an instrument of human resources development in which members of the organization are taught theoretical knowledge or practical skills, which they are then expected to apply profitably in everyday organizational life. Workshops with focus groups take place at the boundaries of organizations, with the aim of trying to identify the requirements of their environment and adapt their products or services to them. In urban and regional planning initiatives, participatory workshops are designed to ensure citizen involvement, and at universities there are workshops on topics such as effective self-organization and stress management.
