Tools to build clear, compelling strategies - ONE DAY WORKSHOP
Equip yourself with a clear and effective strategic planning approach for tough problems that do not respond directly to logic and analysis and build your roadmap for change.
Traditionally strategies are built using strongly left brain, analytical, backwards looking techniques. Our A two B approach balances the analytical with the creative and helps teams to understand where they are, imagine a better future and invent a roadmap for getting there.
This course will help you understand the A two B approach, give you hands on experience contributing to one and leave you with a set of great questions you can use to create a clear and actionable strategy for your business.

See the world through the customers eyes - ONE DAY WORKSHOP
Use active customer engagement techniques to build empathy for your customers and stay one step ahead of your competitors
Designing products, services and experiences that are meaningful and innovative to your customer starts with gaining a genuine empathy for their needs, desires and motivations. To do this we move beyond market surveys and focus groups to research methods such as in-depth interviews, observation and in-context enquiry to lay the foundation for high quality, actionable insights.
In this workshop, you will learn how to plan, do and synthesise high quality customer research and how this approach will generate deep empathy and insights for your customers.

Performance Enhancing Thinking Tools for Teams - ONE DAY WORKSHOP
Unleash the power of visualisation, dialogue and heuristics to help you think, create and plan your way out of tough problems.
Teamwork and collaboration are increasingly needed in the complex, rapidly-changing business world. Someone once said “the thinking that got you into the problem is unlikely to be the thinking that gets you out of the problem”. Do you sometimes think “where do I start?” or “what can I do from here?”.
This course is designed to teach you a selection of tools for tackling tough (“wicked”) problems, and finding convincing paths forward. Throughout the day we introduce and get you using Visualisation, Dialogue and Heuristic tools that will help you and others think your way out of tough problems.
These tools will help you make sense of the complexity surrounding the problems we face in organisations today?
