Designing workshops and large group events

However, far too often, these workshops fail to achieve their goals. This can lead to frustration and the feeling that time and resources have not been used efficiently and effectively.

The importance of effective use of time: Resources, such as time and money invested in management workshops, are valuable. The opportunities where key stakeholders meet to discuss critical topics, compare visions, and optimize collaborative working methods should also be used holistically.

• Integration of business and team development: What is the workshop’s goal? What do we want to achieve at the end of the day? A clear focus and definition of goals at both a business and team level are essential, as is a customized workshop design and leadership by an experienced facilitator.
• Design and methodology: Appropriate scheduling and diverse, interactive methods promote productivity and engagement. It is essential to appeal to all the senses, minimize the use of PowerPoint, work in different constellations, and provide ample space for exchange.
• Positive results: A professionally conducted management workshop leads to a deeper mutual understanding, a stronger commitment to the common goals, and clear and specific agreements on how to proceed. Additional valuable effect: improving collaboration and internal communication.
