Strategy Signal Workshop and Training

Strategy Signal Workshop and Training Sessions

Design Sprint, Facilitation, Learning & Development

In an uncertain VUCA world marked by increasing complexity and constant change, strategy must evolve. It’s no longer about setting a plan and sticking to it, strategy needs to be a shared, ongoing conversation that adapts as the environment shifts. That’s the thinking behind the Strategy Signal Workshop.

This facilitation-driven experience is designed to help teams not just talk about strategy but do strategy together in a strategy design sprint style. There are many different kinds of strategy workshops that can be done in the room or virtually together. This specific process is based on tools and principles from the book Strategy Signal by the lightning decision jam creators, the workshop helps groups move from confusion to clarity by identifying signals of change and turning them into actionable strategy.

Featured Workshops, Learning & Development, Research Studies

Recently I’ve been designing and facilitating unique training experiences (like gratitude storytelling retreats) that seemed to tap into something even softer than the usual “soft skills” we hear about in the world of leadership and organizations. Something even softer than teamwork, collaboration, public speaking, or creative problem solving. The idea came to me of  the concept of “softest of the soft skills.” So read on to learn more and reach out if we can help you with a training or workshop to develop the “softest of the soft skills” in your organization or teams.

Froebel Blocks Creativity Design Education Training

Facilitation, Learning & Development

I’ve gotten quite interested in Froebel blocks. I’ve picked up a few antique sets to collect and use for storytelling in my design thinking workshops. I see them on display in exhibits about Frank Lloyd Wright and also at the Design Museum in London. The story is that many of the most famous designers in history, like Frank Lloyd Wright, grew up playing with Froebel blocks (and learning design from them). As I’ve learned more about the method of using Froebel blocks in classes with students, I notice the origins of popular training methods (like LSP) in the flow of activities.
