Workshops
Campaign Workshops combine proven social group processes, facilitation and decision analysis methods to foster and achieve more effective strategic planning.
Workshops are designed to bring together groups of people who need to deal with complex issues facing their organisation or support owner/managers with expert advice to help them reach strategic business decisions.
Campaign Workshops are facilitated by consultants trained at the London School of Economics (LSE) in Group Facilitation techniques. The facilitator will lead participants through a structured conference designed to establish and capture the status quo, define the options, understand the issues, develop measurement criteria and set strategic goals.
The participants all contribute to the capturing of information, the building of the model, the definition of the options and the eventual outcome and solution; resulting is a shared understanding of the challenges and united support for the outcome of the workshop. All of the data from the workshop is captured and analysed as part of the process and an output report is fed back to the group after the event. Further stages might apply to more complex strategic decisions or in larger groups and subsequent follow‐up workshops and break‐out meetings might be required to meet all of the objectives.
Workshops come in half‐day or full day formats and can be carried out at the client premises, at our conference facilities in Dorset or in a third‐party location, so that there are no distractions for participants; allowing them to focus attention within the workshop environment.
The best results are achieved through open, honest discussion and key stage agreements. It is the facilitators’ role not only to lead the process and keep discussions relevant and on‐track, but also to offer in expertise and advice during the process and to play devil’s advocate to establish whether or not better strategies might be explored and whether or not all of the judgements are consistent.
Finally, as part of the output report; results, data, recommendations and where applicable quotes for further strategic and operational support are presented.
