Meetings

Businesses run on meetings. Let’s make them count.

Our meetings will get your team aligned, energised and ready to make things happen.

Imagine the best meeting ever.

We can help your meetings go from boring boardroom to dynamic discussion, ensuring you and your team leave the room aligned, energised and ready to make things happen.

How it works

There are many reasons for holding a meeting, for example setting goals, making decisions, defining roles, making plans, building consensus and alignment.

And there are many things that get in the way of a good meeting too – it’s our job to help you avoid meeting blockers and successfully deal with difficult situations.

Your meeting, on your terms

Everything we do is tailored to you: we’ll work closely with you to understand your organisation and the nuances of your project, designing and running your meeting so you get the outcomes you need.

We'll consider your participants - their roles, goals, personalities, strengths and working styles - and suggest tools, techniques and approaches that suit them best.

And we'll look in detail at your stakeholders, customers and any other relevant audiences to ensure we fully understand the context and components involved.

Not just another meeting

If you've ever endured a long, dull, meandering meeting that didn't change anything - you can rest assured that our meetings are a completely different prospect.

We facilitate compelling, memorable meetings where participants are engaged throughout, embarking on passionate discussions and creating fresh ideas.

And everything comes neatly together at the end to form tangible outcomes, with everyone on board and ready to move forward as one.

Sample Outlines

You might like one of these "off the shelf" workshops, or we can use one as a starting point to create a bespoke workshop to suit your group.

Creative Thinking

Quality Service

Here's what you can expect when you work with us:

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.

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.

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.

Great Collaboration

We'll get your group working together effectively

Leaders & Managers

Tools & Techniques

We can draw from a variety of approaches to help you achieve your objectives. Here are just a few examples:

Novice or Expert

We pair more experienced participants up with those just starting out, for a spot of reverse mentoring - each taking turns to coach and advise the other. The experts can guide the newbies, who in turn can provide fresh perspectives.

Scenario Planning

Events will shape the future in many different ways, and it’s impossible to predict everything that will happen tomorrow, let alone 5 or 10 years in the future. One way to deal with this is to use Scenario Planning, first introduced by energy giant Shell in the 1970s.

Perspectives

Looking at a problem from different angles or vantage points can change how it is perceived and interpreted. This might mean taking on a different persona, or changing your thinking style slightly. This activity helps participants look at their work from the perspective of others.

TESTIMONIAL

“Many thanks for your work preparing, facilitating and reporting on the meeting. We were really pleased with the session and with the write-up of the outcomes. You’ve been great to work with throughout the process and have delivered the output that we were looking for, so many thanks. If we find ourselves with similar needs again, we’d hope to work with you in the future.”
