The Ideation Sessions
Play is not the opposite of serious work. It is how we, as our imperfect human selves, do our most honest, creative and courageous thinking. Each workshop has been developed with play as the central containers. This is not for the pure entertainment of the team, although it provides exactly that. By gamifying our approach we provide an environment which creates conditions for engagement and exchange which cannot be serviced through meetings, traditional workshops or strategy days
The Ideations Sessions are directly structured for creative play without the need for skills in art, writing or physical confidence. These sessions step away from traditional mentoring or coaching and instead offer a thinking and transformation partnership, allowing participants to be the experts of their own life and work. The sessions aim to help leaders and teams to access ideas, insights and direction that they would not normally reach on their own.
Move your own leadership and team beyond their professional armour and invite them to think, feel, see and play using this new approach to bringing teams together.
Who are these sessions for?
Individuals who are accomplished but restless. They are good at what they do and know it but feel like something is out of alignment . They are at an inflection point and know they do not need another framework or mentor or strategic plan. What they do need is to think and reflect more deeply, honestly and creatively than their usual environment allows.
Teams hitting a wall, with high performers who have gone stale and need a mindset reset. The sessions apply a creative approach to unlock what traditional training can not.
Culture stuck organisations where everyone knows what is wrong but can’t say it or won’t say it. A creative experience is applied to remove defensiveness and surface what the real conversation should be, safely.
Leadership teams in transition who are post-restructure, post merger or pre-changes, where the team needs to rebuild trust, shared identity and creative confidence before the next chapter.
Teams dealing with the same old, same old who are seeking introducing new ways of working to align to the attributes and personality of the team makeup.
Any one sick of lazy facilitation sessions which follow a formula not aligned directly to the requirements of your people and your organisation.

Let’s Work Together
Our sessions are tailored to your organisation and team’s needs - their current situation, their beliefs and assumptions, and the expected arrival point of their desired direction.
We don’t simply turn up on the day. We undertake significant pre-work on all our group sessions to create a fully engagement experiential session that your team will be talking about long past the event.
We can also design specific gamified sessions dependent on the outcome you are wanting to achieve, whether this be in better communication, team codesign of project or change management.
If you are wanting advisory services over a longer period, to support team change, we are happy to talk to you about mapping a trajectory over a sustained period of time. All you have to do is ask and imagine a better outcome.
