Facilitated Workshops & Innovation Consulting
Innovative Thinking
Sometimes, you simply reach an impasse. Your product is up and running, but it’s not shifting in the way you’d like. Your start-up is off the ground, but you need to attract new customers. You need to diversify, but your competitors seem to be doing that better than you.
When you know something’s not working but can’t quite work out why, it’s time for a Facilitated Workshop. In it you’ll tackle the actual problem you’re having trouble with, exploring all the issues thoroughly. By stripping things back, by examining the sticking point in its entirety, and most of all, by identifying and defining the real problem that needs solving, you’ll land on new ideas and a clear, tangible course of action.
Getting you thinking in different ways, the workshops take you through the Simplexity Thinking process, helping your teams work together more productively and sparking breakthroughs. The result is immediate solutions that get you moving.

Remote or In-Person Facilitation
Until recently, all Facilitated Workshops were done face-to-face. We’re happy to say they can now be done remotely, thanks to simple online tools such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams. Participants in different geographical locations can be brought together to work on any challenge you want to address.
Since people can bring along their thoughts and ideas about a problem and air them during the session, thinking isn’t restricted to the duration of the workshop. And the online format lends itself perfectly to the convergent part of the process, where ideas and opinions can be discussed in an open and balanced way. In real time, everyone has a voice, everyone is listened to and all opinions are equally valued.
Other benefits include, of course, no travel costs, instant documentation (no flipcharts), and facilitation conducted in a controlled, even-handed way for the widest input and maximum collaboration.
