You keep having unproductive arguments, you can’t make decisions, or you’re making decisions that turn out badly.

You’re not exactly sure what’s going wrong, but it feels like a communication issue, a process issue, or an information issue, even though you have plenty of data. Or do you?

In just 6 weeks, we’ll run you through a series of worksessions and coached actual work that will fix your sitch. Why 6 weeks? We’ve found that’s the right amount of time.

A couple weeks to diagnose the issues. A couple to run through a piece of work. And the last week or so to talk about where to make changes. We’re not here to waste anyone’s time.

First we go in there and meet your team to understand what’s going wrong. Some group conversations. Some one-on-ones for enhanced honesty.

Then, depending on what you need help with, we’ll select a model assignment, that’s also a substantive piece of research or design. Call it a sprint if you like. We interact with you through a set of structured worksessions that fit in with everything else you’re doing.

Based on this, we’ll make recommendations of what you need to do differently. And you will already have been doing it. So, that’s easy.

What it is

A 6-week coached program for organizations and teams, scalable for the number of participants, and the amount of participation appropriate to their role. We know it works, and we’ll make it work for you. Every team has its own special challenges and needs.

Who it’s for

Any organization that wants to reduce risk, improve collaboration, and make better decisions faster based on the right information will benefit. Whether or not you are currently working with designers or researchers, we adapt the program to your needs and capabilities.

How it works

This is a highly-collaborative program that distills everything we’ve learned over the years and adapts it to your culture and cadence. We work with your team to explain and demonstrate the principles. Then, we provide opportunities to participate and learn while doing. Folks in different roles can participate in different ways that match their capacity and level of interest.
