Facilitated workshops which build your agency’s skills and lay the foundations for client project success.

The one for Agencies

Price: Free (or travel, tea and biscuits if outside Manchester, UK)
Time: 3 hrs

This workshop introduces your team to opportunities for flex and alignment in your project definition stage. I come to you, or meet somewhere with a whiteboard. The day is then spent reviewing your existing processes and co-creating a new approach to onboarding and project definition.

Includes work on surfacing and mitigating risk for various project approach methods. Understanding the impact of a project’s Why, What, Who and How. Evaluate the synergy between client & delivery approach.

Along the way, additional workshopping opportunities, digital resources and online tools will be introduced.

Are you facing challenges integrating less aligned clients into your delivery approach? Get in touch, and we can have a chat about this approach overview workshop.

The one for Clients

Price: POA
Time: 3-5 hrs

🚧 Under Construction 🚧

This workshop is client focused and intended to be scheduled prior to project contract discussions. It’s valuable as a stand-alone session and the outputs are transferable to other providers should you wish to offer that option to a client.

Depending on agency and client situation the session includes:

The story of Value and how to shift it to being the primary measure of success. Discuss the difference between business value, customer (or user) value and confirm a sweet spot exists.

The Why – consider the project inputs – requirements, needs, specifications. Discuss opinion vs evidence based needs.

The What – Taking input and evidencing them, or building trusted user requirements to align around a focus for the project

The Who – Understanding what a stakeholder is, the stakeholder map, what different delivery approaches require from stakeholders

The How – Confirm the different options for owning of the ‘How’

Risk – Where risk lies for different delivery approaches. How we can mitigate it, and what might happen if we don’t.

Protecting critical requirements in Agile delivery approaches – You can have your cake and eat it
