Round table Discussions and Workshops

Chairing and Facilitating Round table Discussions, Workshops and Business Events

 

Redshift can facilitate internal meetings, workshops or events. Such ‘deliberative events’, held at the end of the research process can help clients get a really good understating of the results. 

 

The workshops take it to the next stage of idea generation and solutions building.  Through breakout sessions exploring the implication of the research insights, results can be thoroughly ‘owned’ by the team and next steps agreed upon.

 

 

 

However, you needn’t wait until the end of original research to run a workshop.  ‘Immersion and insight’ sessions can be run at anytime you feel you need to get your key people together for a brainstorming session.  Existing internal knowledge feeds into such events perfectly.  

 

We can ensure events are:
- relevant to the agenda
- objective, with unbiased facilitation and steering
- run on time to a schedule
- are fun to participate in
- thought provoking
- provide documentation of the sessions outcomes

“Wrap up Workshops; Could we have done it ourselves?  Probably.  Would we have got around to doing it ourselves? Probably not. Did we get benefits from having an independent third party running the event?  Yes.  There were some uncomfortable messages for certain members of the team to hear and if I’d said them they would have thought I was on a witch hunt.  It was also good to get pretty much the whole team together for an afternoon to start agreeing on what needs to change moving forward. So overall it was a very worthwhile exercise and something we’d do again with Redshift.”
