Workshop catalog

Based on our extensive knowledge and years of experience working with various teams and organizations, we have developed a catalog of workshops that address the key challenges companies and teams face in today’s dynamic environment.

We are recognized and certified experts in live and online workshop facilitation. As a company, we have been acknowledged as “Miro Experts,” and our lead facilitator, Nina Pozderec, is among the globally recognized Miro MVPs – a community of top Miro facilitators worldwide. Our workshops have been repeatedly ranked among Miro’s top 100 workshops of the year and nominated for best workshop awards, with Nina being honored as the “Best Contributor” of 2023 in Miro Hall of Fame.

We incorporate Design Thinking and Future(s) Thinking principles into all our workshops. We also design them to minimize participants’ unconscious cognitive biases and reduce group social influence, leading to more creative and effective solutions.

We offer personalized workshops where we help you define your goals, so that we can design and fully tailor the session to your needs, as well as pre-designed workshops that can be customized to a certain extent.

“Off the shelf” workshops

Our “Off the shelf” workshops are built on the core competencies and building blocks of highly effective teams. These workshops will equip your teams with essential knowledge and guide them towards realizing their full potential.

We have divided them into five thematic sections: the future of work, team dynamics, the secrets of effective communication, facilitation, and strategic workshops.

1. Agile 101

Agile is a well-known term in the information technology industry. In our workshop on basic agile techniques, we will explore the fundamental principles of agile methodologies. Through collaboration and practical exercises, we will discover how iterative development, regular feedback, and teamwork can improve project management efficiency. The workshop will cover basic agile techniques such as Scrum, Definition of Done, User Story, and tools like KanBan, Retrospectives, and more.

2. Progressive Organisations & New Ways of Working

Globalization, artificial intelligence, and the digital revolution have made the need for constant adaptation and change greater than ever. However, many organizations face difficulties in adapting to the new environment as bureaucracy and system complexity slow them down. Yet, some organizations successfully overcome these challenges. In this workshop, we will learn about the characteristics and examples of progressive organizations, the fundamental building blocks of these organizations and highly effective teams, and design »mini experiments« to plan strategies for implementing chosen techniques in practice.

3. Organization and Systems in Progressive Organizations

Most organizations still operate on principles developed over 100 years ago, when Frederick Taylor and his associates designed processes that led to the second industrial revolution. While these systems guaranteed success, quality, and growth a century ago, today they often result in slowness, bureaucracy, and complexity in cross-departmental coordination. However, some organizations have found ways to overcome these issues, and this workshop will focus on establishing a customer centric organization. By the end of the workshop, you will gain insight into how a vertical in your organization would look and function if it were designed to be customer-centric.

4. Psychology of Change & Mistakes in Implementing It

The general belief is that people dislike change and prefer to stay in their comfort zone. The truth is quite the opposite – people are actually »addicted to change,« but they will change only when they believe the change is worth it. In this workshop, we will learn about the change process, the 5 inhibitors of change, and the common mistakes leaders make when implementing it. We will also learn how to introduce change in a way that motivates employees and how to limit inhibitors.

You have probably heard a lot about the newest generation gradually entering the workforce. A generation that spends their afternoons on TikTok and disregards established processes and rules. But what of this is true, and what is just a stereotype? What are Gen Z-ers really like? In this workshop, we will learn about the circumstances in which Gen Z grew up, their characteristics, desires, what they expect from employers, organizational culture, and the working environment. We will also explore techniques that help companies increase engagement and inclusion of Gen Z members.

1. Psychological Safety

Psychological safety is crucial for fostering successful working environments and strong interpersonal relationships. It helps create an environment where individuals can be vulnerable and make mistakes without the fear of punishment. In such an environment, people feel accepted and valued, which, in turn, encourages innovation, learning, and team success. In this workshop, we will explore the characteristics of effective teams, the neurological basis of psychological safety, and the importance of trust, autonomy, and accountability. We will also discuss actions we can take to establish and maintain psychological safety within the team, as well as the role of leaders in this process.

This session will promote better understanding among team members, consensus on rules, and ultimately enhance collaboration, communication, and interpersonal relationships.

4. The Power of Words: Secrets of Highly Effective Teams

Your colleague has been promising you for four consecutive days that they will send you the data you urgently need for your monthly report by the end of the day. The client is impatient, and you have exhausted all your excuses for the delayed report. This frustrates you because this is not an isolated incident. Every time you collaborate with them, problems arise. Despite addressing the matter several times, conversations end with the same unfulfilled promises. Have you ever found yourself in a similar situation? Are you wondering what steps you can take to initiate change? In the first part of the workshop, we will focus on feedback. We will learn techniques for giving and receiving feedback and practice them in role-playing exercises. In the next section, we will touch on conflicts. We will learn what really happens during a conflict, which topic to address, and how to create a safe environment for discussing problems. In the third part, we will explore the characteristics of highly effective teams, learn about the model of the five dysfunctions of a team by P. Lencioni, and conclude the workshop with a trust-building exercise.

Feedback is one of the main sources of information that helps us learn and develop our skills.

2. Conflict as a Tool

In our society, there is a prevailing belief that conflicts are negative, so we often avoid them. While it’s true that improperly addressed and unresolved conflicts lead to lower productivity, poor atmosphere, and limited communication, it’s important to emphasize that properly resolved conflicts bring numerous benefits to individuals and the entire team. It turns out that conflicts are very common in high-performing and creative teams, contributing to greater innovation, success, trust, and closer relationships. In the workshop, we will learn what really happens during a conflict, the most common reactions to conflicts, and how we can use conflicts as our tool. Participants will also practice techniques through role-playing exercises.

3. Leadership Skills as a Tool for Everyone

Being a manager or leader today is certainly not easy. The expectations of employees and superiors are immense, and the scope of leadership responsibilities continues to expand daily. Managers are expected to excel in all areas without exception. Leadership skills are extremely important, and companies are well aware of this, at least according to the data. In 2020, organizations spent over $100 billion on leadership skills training. Consequently, there are many such training programs on the market. Interestingly, many of them predominantly focus on soft skills, such as active listening, giving and receiving feedback, conflict resolution, etc. This begs the question: why are these skills reserved only for managers and leaders? Aren’t they crucial for all employees? In our workshop, we will explore techniques such as active listening, giving and receiving feedback, conflict resolution, and more. Participants will gain insight into the importance of these skills and practice them through role-playing exercises. By the end of the workshop, they will develop a plan for implementing these learned skills into their everyday work.

1. How to Make Meetings More Effective?

Meetings are an unavoidable aspect of the business world, essential for coordination, planning, gaining broader contexts, and ultimately, decision-making. They should also foster relationships, connect teams, and improve communication and collaboration. However, it turns out that at least one-third of all meetings are completely ineffective, often straying from the topic and goals, resulting in a lack of necessary decisions. Additionally, not all attendees have equal opportunities for active participation, which can often lead to the dominance of ideas from the loudest or highest-paid individuals rather than the best ideas. In this interactive workshop, you will learn strategies to enhance meeting effectiveness, how to ensure ideas are evaluated based on their quality rather than the presenter, and how to improve overall meeting structure to facilitate better decision-making.

2. Futures Thinking

When thinking about the future, we often imagine only one possible outcome. However, in reality, there are multiple possible futures, and we certainly have the power to influence them starting today. In this workshop, we will use the Futures Thinking method to analyze and categorize various signals and trends that indicate different futures. Based on the analysis of these signals and trends, we will develop different plausible and optimistic scenarios, evaluating them based on our desires, goals, and the likelihood of their realization. For the selected scenario, we will then conduct »backcasting« – we will identify the steps that can lead us to the realization of the scenario, the main critical points and how to prevent them, and concretize the first steps to make our desired future a present reality.
