Co-creating the new from the familiar

Strategic dialogue that inspires new thinking from real work-life moments of authentic collaboration and collective experience.

Facilitating interaction

Where formal knowledge meets informal innovation,
best practice meets emerging practice and
global perspectives meet local experience.

Convening strategic conversations

Between the institutions of influence and the independent innovators,
we like to create shared spaces… sometimes hybrid, always collaborative.

On-site or online: resources & skills for virtual meetings

We've been holding online meetings
across town, across cities & across the world.
We have unique platforms & experiences to
help hold meetings that work.

NEW RESPONSES FOR UNUSUAL TIMES

VIRTUAL CO*
convening, collaborating, coordinating

Designing interactive sessions and collaborative working approaches in these volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous times means acknowledging the current circumstances and immediate future context, and then creating the right conditions so that individuals can contribute their experience and skills in in ways that are meaningful and valued.

 

It also means the focused development of cultural dispositions that are compatible with this dynamic way of thinking and working.

Virtual convening and facilitation enables us to play a role in supporting your current strategic priorities, while also enabling all involved to be highly adaptive to emerging realities – responsive to strategic leadership, teams and stakeholders.

The key elements of a ‘virtual convening’ program for your organisation could include:

  • Designing engaging and useful content for distributed staff or stakeholders
  • Coordinating & delivering facilitated virtual sessions using multiple modes – these may be live linked dicussion (eg video sessions) or virutal collaboration (eg chats/channels)
  • Facilitating virutal co-design activities across disciplines, time-zones and cultures.
  • Providing leadership support & advice
  • Enabling the real-time sharing of practice & lessons-learned
  • Building a learning culture – shaping responses & harvesting insights for future use by organisation leadership.
