About this Event
Two days to learn one universal structure for any workshop, the core activities for each phase and the facilitator's craft in the room. You leave with your next workshop fully designed.
What you can do afterwards:
– Design any workshop: You build a session from the question to the commitment with one structure that works for strategy, team and innovation topics.
– Engage everyone: You use activities that bring quiet people in and keep dominant voices in balance.
– Lead to decisions: You guide groups from opening options to selecting them and secure the results in writing.
– Handle hard moments: You recognise five types of challenging participants and have a response for each.
Agenda day 1 (09:30 to 17:00 each day):
– The universal structure – Six phases for every workshop: before, creating options, selecting options, sharpening, commitment and next actions, after.
– Role and mindset – What a facilitator does, and what the group does better.
– Core activities – Collecting, clustering, dot voting, decision matrix, commitment round: each one run by you once.
– Flip chart and slides – Visualising without art: principles for flip charts and workshop slides.
Agenda day 2:
– Ready-to-use concepts – Step-by-step flows for discovery, ideation, alignment, prioritisation and strategy workshops.
– Challenging participants – Five types, five responses, rehearsed in short scenes.
– Your workshop – You design a workshop that is coming up, run a 20-minute section with the group and get feedback.
– Transfer – Your facilitation plan for the next three months.
