Presentations that command attention
Engagements can range from 1 hour to several days, depending on your objectives and needs.
Facilitation
As long-time facilitators, we focus on fostering collaborative groups who can collectively and effectively harness their minds and hearts to solve tough problems. Most facilitation projects fall into one of four categories;
- Strategic planning
- Team-building and productivity
- Finding new solutions to persistent challenges in any number of areas: marketing, R&D, operations, human resources, leadersh
- New product/service development/pipeline building
- Ideation
Training
Put simply, creative thinking is the people side of innovation. It requires people to be generative as well as analytic thinkers. The problem is, most of us privilege our analytic skills over our generative skills – and that causes problems when you need new and useful ideas.
We train individuals, internal teams, client/agency teams and other groups in the mind-set, skill-set and tool-set of creative thinking. Our training sessions are designed to be collaborative, inspiring and transformative. The work is based on a variety of methodologies including:
- Creative Problem Solving
- Design Thinking
- Empathy building
Coaching
Training provides new skills; coaching ensures you use these skills consistently and effectively. That’s because old habits die hard and even the best-of-the-best performers need coaches to help them apply new learning. Don’t believe that? Ask the New England Patriots. (Ok, couldn’t resist. We are Boston-based!)
