We start by setting up an in-depth phone call or meeting, to get as much detail as possible on your participants and desired outcomes.
We’ll work closely with you to fully understand the nuances of your project.
design & refine
We’ll talk you through our recommendations, and you can ask as many questions as you like and guide us through your vision of what you want to achieve.
We can work with you as much as needed in the run-up to the project to make sure we get everything right.
delivery
When the time comes, we’ll be the enthusiastic facilitator and coach, carefully guiding your group of participants through a series of activities & discussions most relevant to them. We’ll inspire ideas, tease out solutions, so people find common ground.
We provide all necessary stationery, including activity guides and worksheets. Or - if it’s a virtual session, we’ll use software to help us capture ideas and comments.
review & close
We’ll wrap up with a summary of key points and actions, and provide a written summary afterwards if required.
Finally we’ll hold a debrief meeting with you to share any learnings or next steps.

Slide Deck
To help you lead your team through the process, we provide a clear and engaging slide deck. This flexible deck provides overviews of key topics, examples, activity outlines and action planning frameworks. You can easily add your branding to the slides to make them your own.
Real Examples
All our sessions and toolkits come with a variety of real-life examples from businesses of different sizes, from different industries. We analyse and explain how a selection of companies have carried out this work in the past and outline the resulting impact.
Practical Tools
The toolkit comes with several easy-to-use tools to guide you and your team. These step-by-step frameworks take participants through a process to help surface ideas, identify patterns, make connections and draw conclusions. We'll outline how to use each tool with clear, concise instructions.
Action Plan
It's crucial to achieve a tangible outcome from this process, so we'll show you how to work with your team to create a practical action plan to implement the end result. The plan includes tasks, timescales, roles and responsibilities - specific outcomes that will impact your business.
PDF Guide
Our PDF implementation guide provides comprehensive step-by-step instructions. Everything is clearly presented and explained, so you can run the process yourself with confidence.
Workshop Guide
Our facilitation guide will help you run a dynamic workshop with your team. We include a suggested agenda, discussion points and scripted elements to help you explain each step and activity. Follow our suggested approach to the letter or tailor it to suit your style and team.
Visual Whiteboards
We bring many of our meetings and workshops to life with collaborative visual activities, like whiteboards and post-it notes. For remote sessions we replicate this experience using tools such as MURAL and Miro, where you can post virtual sticky notes and write on virtual whiteboards together.
Virtual Facilitation
We're increasingly invited to work with remote teams and participants working from home. Once you’re comfortable using virtual workshop software, the usual principles of running a great workshop or meeting apply: we create carefully designed, high energy events that help people generate ideas, solve problems, share opinions and make decisions.
Zoom & Microsoft Teams
We can use Zoom and Microsoft Teams to successfully replicate many areas of our face-to-face workshops. We use both apps to organise breakout groups when appropriate, and also utilise chat functions for sharing links & files and fielding questions. We don't charge for use of our Zoom & Teams accounts.
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.
Completely Bespoke
We’ll work closely with you to understand the nuances of your project and team, and allow you to guide us through your vision of what you want to achieve. We’ll create a bespoke proposal and scope of work, including outlines and agendas, and work with you to refine and finalise the key details to make your project a success.
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.
Fair, Transparent Fees
We present all our fees and expenses clearly, so you can see exactly what we’re charging for and why. We’ll quote you a fixed fee for the work we carry out, so you’ll have no surprises when our final invoice arrives. We offer a 20% discount for charities. Ask us for a quote today!

Tangible Outcomes
We'll work closely with you to understand the outcomes you need from the session and work towards these, to help you drive your project forward with key deliverables, decisions, stakeholder support, actions, measurement criteria, roles, responsibilities and deadlines.
Tools & Techniques
We’re avid collectors of useful approaches to spark new thinking and enable vibrant conversations. From World Cafe to Open Space, Team Canvas to Unconference, Customer Journey Mapping to Scenario Planning, we use the most relevant tools & techniques to fit your brief perfectly.
A Clear Agenda
A well-designed agenda is a beautiful thing. We'll work with you to make sure the important points and topics are included, with the best approach for each to achieve the outcomes you need. We'll guide you on how much time is needed - never taking more than is necessary - and what can realistically be achieved.
