Workshops
I have facilitated many, many workshops with teams of all shapes and sizes across the globe to help them align and multiply their powers. Wherever your team is in their journey, I can facilitate a variety of collaborative exercises to help reinvigorate and bring direction and focus. Teams will leave feeling motivated, with a strong sense of purpose and excited to work together, apply their skills and have a positive impact on the world.
Every single workshop is personalised to respond to the needs of that team. All of these activities can be run in person in the office or off-site or they can be setup as remote or hybrid workshops. Here are some of the topics I can help with:
Innovation & Ideation
EXPLORE
Exploring problem spaces with Design thinking: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, test.
GENERATE
Generate ideas and think differently with Ideation Jams: e.g. "How Might We" sessions, Crazy 8s, SCAMPER.
VALIDATE
Building and validating ideas with Design Sprints: define a problem, sketch solutions, prototype, test with users.
BUILD
Prototype new concepts out of the normal roadmap with Hackathons: time-boxed design and build sprints.
Strategy & Prioritisation
OPPORTUNITY
Connect discovery work to outcomes and opportunities: e.g. Opportunity Solution Tree.
IMPACT
Align on what to build next with shared criteria: e.g. Impact/Effort, RICE prioritisation.
OUTCOMES
Align around a focused number of outcomes rather than outputs: e.g. OKR-setting, SMART goals, Priority Stacks, WhyGo.
Ways of Working & Team Process
REFLECT
Come together for a guided retrospective to reflect on what is working and what isn't: e.g. Start/Stop/Continue, 4Ls, Sailboat.
ALIGN
Build a team charter or working agreement: align on norms, communication expectations, decision rights.
CLEAR
Visualise the end-to-end flow of work to spot barriers, bottlenecks and waste: e.g. value stream mapping.
OWN
Reduce duplication or get yourself unstuck by clarifying who owns what and how to support each other: e.g. RACI or decision-mapping.
Culture & Collaboration
OPTIMISE
Surface issues affecting trust, morale and innovation to improve psychological safety: e.g. Health Check models.
MOTIVATE
Centre the team around the vision and impact: e.g. Customer Empathy Exercises.
ALIGN
Bring multidisciplinary teams together and reduce handoff friction: e.g. Cross-functional Alignment.
