Whether meeting in person, virtually, or in a hybrid format, we design and facilitate collaborative processes to foster creativity across systems.
We use design thinking principles to host truly engaging meetings that include time for individual reflection, group dialogue, and more creative interventions. Activities like system sculpting, leadership journey mapping, and private writing can activate participation across different learning styles.
In the virtual meeting space, we also use platforms like MURAL, Miro, Jambard, Padlet, and Google Docs to engage participants.
These activities help individuals and groups reflect, create shared meaning, work toward a common goal and crystalize their insights.
It is especially helpful when there is a need for a shift in mindset, more creative approaches, and fresh ideas, or when a group simply needs help to connect on a deeper level.
Our creative approach to facilitation, combined with live graphic recording, creates a powerful container for learning, connection, and change.
Facilitation engagements are usually booked between 3-6 months in advance. If you are considering hiring us, reach out today!
This straightforward Commitment Wall design is a board with anchor images, the organization logo, and a question. People brainstorm and note commitments on Post-its, have short conversations with groups of 3 to share them, and then post their commitments on the board.
About 10 minutes is set aside during the meeting for this activity.
This Commitment Wall is more complex, with customized stickers designed in advance. It was designed to be used continuously throughout an 8-hour conference day, during breaks, and over lunch. The final image with all the commitments is shared with participants after the conference as a “thank you,” reminder, and celebration of the done throughout the day.
Participants offer insights through conversations with staff. An adjacent illustrator visualizes the response in real-time in a common area such as the conference lobby.
The Social Listening Mural and Commitment Wall can be combined into one activity. For example, participants can map ideas on their own, and illustrators can also help organize ideas and illustrate around them, as in this example
