Workshops

A workshop can be conducted to inform or to gather. Either with users or a team, the aim is to share knowledge and methods that will make a difference, the key is facilitation.

YOUR MOTIVATION...
"Have you found that your team can have all the data they need, but there are many different conclusions to discuss? Or maybe you notice a gap in your team's skillset you need to fill?"

How we'll drive engagement and learning through facilitation

The value proposition of a workshop differs based on the context, attendees and the expected outcome. Whether you are gaining insights from potential customers, developing a shared understanding of processes with your team or increasing skillsets, workshops allow everyone to connect in an intuitively hands-on environment that breeds clarity. Having this concentrated time together, focussing on fundamental tasks by utilising engaging methods, can shift perceptions and allow you to move forward, having gathered cohesive insights or introduced new techniques.
When we run a workshop that aims to look at the facts and construct a shared view, our aim is to pull out all the differing perceptions in the room, uncover the hidden insights each attendee has and map them in a logical and connected way. Whether the purpose is to uncover a pattern, focus in on an issue or to ideate a service solution, getting to the root of each individuals knowledge and experience is key. From crafting affinity diagrams, to running 'butcher paper workshops' in order to dilute a high level process down to its basic elements, we will customise, devise and facilitate a workshop that explores the full context.
