Talkshop

Learn how to be more strategic every day by creating connections between ideas, plans, and people.

Strategic thinking is a process in which people consider all their options, weigh the potential risks and benefits of each option, and then choose the best course of action. It's a systematic approach to decision making that involves both rational and emotional thinking.

In Detail

This session helps participants understand what strategy is, and why it can be a tricky topic for some.

We start by using an analogy to help participants understand the process of strategic thinking. We also acknowledge the difficulties of strategic thinking: lack of time, discomfort with the unknown, a bias towards immediate problems and firefighting.

Next, we introduce several frameworks and steps for thinking strategically in different contexts. We consider frameworks designed by top strategy experts, and look at examples from several companies.

We also highlight strategic thinking steps on a more approachable, day-to-day level, so participants can see how they can think strategically within their roles.

Finally, we help participants understand how to measure and learn from their strategy, and adapt it when necessary.

Understand Complex Topics

By breaking down complex topics into easily understandable elements, and by introducing examples, analogies and tools, we help participants quickly get to grips with a wide range of concepts and ideas.

Prepare for the Future

Think critically and creatively about the future, and develop strategies to navigate potential challenges and opportunities.

Strategic Planning

By focusing on new objectives and initiatives, the team can identify areas for growth and innovation, set clear targets, and establish a roadmap for achieving them.

TESTIMONIAL

“Creative Huddle ran an offsite for our board to define our strategy for the coming years. It was incredibly helpful to have a skilled facilitator to help us analyse our business, clarify our thinking and challenge us to make decisions on our future direction. Everything was clearly summarised in a concise report afterwards, which helped us maintain momentum and take tangible outcomes from the day.”

About our workshops

The informality of our workshops enables participants to relax, express themselves freely and find common ground with others. This lends itself perfectly to ideation and team-building by encouraging positive interactions and idea sharing.

Bring Your Work

Our workshops are practical in nature, so to get the best results we encourage you to come armed with a few live projects or briefs, ready to apply our tools and methods to your work immediately during the session.

Full Engagement

Our meetings and workshops get everyone collaborating equally and effectively to harness their collective strengths and make insightful contributions. They’re carefully designed experiences that help people of all kinds speak up, generate ideas, solve problems, share opinions and make decisions.

Expert Facilitation

When the day comes, we’ll carefully and skilfully guide your participants through a series of sessions and discussions to achieve your aims. We design sessions to keep the engagement and energy high, making sure everyone gets the chance to contribute. We’ll wrap up with key points and actions, and can record everything in a report afterwards if required.

What exactly is a Talkshop?

We're glad you asked! Simply put, a Talkshop is a cross between a talk and a workshop. They're short, punchy, thought-provoking sessions. We take a key concept and explain it clearly, then help your team explore it together to understand how it can help them in their work.
