Focused workshops tailored to your business needs 

Designed to invigorate, energise and stimulate thinking that supports your business growth

In these challenging and turbulent times, businesses need to be far more nimble and able to respond and adapt to the ever changing needs of their clients, customers and workforce than ever before.

As a business leader you’ll need to keep your strategic growth plans front and center, continuing to understand how you can expand, evolve, improve and ultimately continue to grow and thrive during these challenging times. 

As your external partner we have the luxury of dedicated time to focus on your future growth. We’re not bogged down with fire-fighting, BAU and internal politics, enabling us to pull you out of the weeds and clear the path for growth. 

We can help to;
  • Get you out of your echo chamber and challenge your thinking
  • Show you different perspectives and points of view
  • Offer you richness and diversity of thought
  • Provide clarity and align teams on the real challenge or issue that you face
  • Give you the confidence you need to move at pace on the right decisions
Our personalised workshops, hosted by our specialists are tailored to you and your business needs. You lose ground when you stand still, so let’s get moving!
01

Prioritisation Workshop

Businesses often struggle to make decisions on what to tackle first and why. Two things usually happen;

  • Loudest person wins -  ideas get taken forward by force alone, without robust evidence or strategy to justify them
  • Prioritisation paralysis - nothing moves, as a result of having no way to make decisions across a complex portfolio of initiatives

Prioritisation:
What the workshop involves

The Freestyle Prioritisation Engine is designed to remove opinion and add science to your decision making process. The tool allows organisations to configure bespoke scoring criteria across impact and difficulty indicators. Each scoring criteria is weighted to ensure the most important criteria have the largest impact. Your initiatives are then scored against the criteria to deliver a clear set of prioritised initiatives to take forward.

The activity

  • Initiative population
  • One day workshop
    • Part 1: Tool configuration
    • Part 2: Initiative Scoring
  • Roadmap creation

Your outcome

A method for prioritising your strategic initiatives. The sophistication of our workflow means this can include specific solutions, tools and features, as well as broader customer needs and technology infrastructure.

What you can take away

  • A bespoke prioritisation model
  • A prioritised Initiative roadmap 
02

Problem framing workshop

85% of brands report languishing growth from their CX investments. What's causing this lack of return on investment in customer experience?

  • Focusing on the wrong things - investments are made in the wrong places
  • Too many assumptions - the problems, and the implications of addressing them, aren’t understood enough to make an informed decision

Problem framing:

03

Ideation workshop

Generating game changing innovative solutions is hard. What’s standing between you and innovative ideas for solutions that deliver the value you need?

  • Operational barriers -  we discount ideas too early based on our knowledge of delivery, processes and capabilities today.
  • Time and focus - in focusing all our time on the day job and ensuring today’s solutions perform to the best of their ability, we rob ourselves of the time needed to identify new and innovative solutions
