I’ve run these standalone workshops for various agency teams. They’re a great way of upskilling your team, or combining them to take your whole delivery approach, or delivery model to the next level.
Many of these workshops are part in my De-Risking Delivery for Busy Agencies engagements.
In-person workshopping is preferable. It allows for a ‘show while doing’ approach to training your team. Passing on valuable knowledge and techniques to use repeatedly when they’re running your client projects.
These workshops come in three formats;
- With your client
- Train your team
- Define new approaches
More details about each workshop can be found below.

Workshops
Training workshops focus on ways of approaching challenges. They allow your team to take away knowledge and actions and make progress on the more important challenges.
All workshops start with introductory information (and occasionally brief preparation guidance) and an outcome summary or writeup. So you’ll understand the value each workshop created.
Refocus on Value
The Focus on Value workshop is for clients that you would like to educate on the benefits of Value-Driven projects. It takes everyone through several key concepts, finally arriving at an alignment on why value and outcomes should be our compass during their project.
Powerful when:
- A client regularly requests changes based on personal option
- Asks for changes because they imagined a different solution
- Micro-manages projects and solutions

Great Project Inceptions
For the Project Inception Workshop, your clients get the benefit of the workshop, while your team starts to understand how to deliver a similar experience themselves in the future. The workshop covers information gathering and alignment before project kick-off. It builds relationships and a shared vision, while allowing your team to gain the understanding required for some of the more valuable aspects of client management.
Powerful when:
- You need to align around, and agree desirable outcomes
- You’d benefit from knowing more in advance
- You want to discuss the complex aspects while everybody is together
From £750
From Fixed to Flexible
The Fixed to Flexible client workshop takes a fixed scope or requirements document and converts it to a more flexible form of backlog. Along the way, we pinpoint where the value is hidden, and we protect whatever the client sees as the most important needs.
Powerful when:
- Clients want what they’ve asked for and struggle with change
- You’d like clients to see the value you bring to project delivery
- You’d like to shift to outcome-focused project delivery
From £750
Vision & Story Mapping
Vision & Story Mapping is a great way for team and client to understand why a project is happening, what success looks like, and then dive into the detail of what value that brings for the end user or customer.
Powerful when:
- You focus too much on what and not enough on why
- You want to align everybody on success and build enthusiasm
- Defining a roadmap upfront is desirable to help planning and prioritisation
From £750
Project Showcasing
The Project Showcase Workshop is a training workshop focused on powerful ways of sharing the latest progress in a project. Bringing it back to the vision and showing alignment with it as justification for decisions. This can be an opportunity to get approval, feedback or sign-off depending on the project approach.
Powerful when:
- You’d like to delight clients when you share your work
- A more from output-focused to outcome-focused projects is desirable
- Your team avoids ownership of deadlines and iteration success
From £750
Introduction to agency agility
Introduction to agency agility. A training workshop for your team which educates and aligns around the relevant parts of agile project delivery. I put on my Agile Coach cap. We build trust in agile ways of working and ensuring the whole team buys into less rigid approaches.
Powerful when:
- You are struggling to adopt an agile approach
- Waterfall delivery alone isn’t answering your project needs
- Team members are keen to try new ways of working
From £750
Stakeholder Mapping
Stakeholder Mapping allows your team to define powerful insights into the key stakeholders associated with a client or project. Mapping status, network and needs in several ways means not only can we ensure we’re nurturing the right people, but we limit the number of conversations we need to have during a project.
Powerful when:
- Multiple stakeholders will be active on the project
- The stakeholders want different outcomes
- The communication needs are not simple
From £750
Mitigating Risk
Mitigating Risk in Project Delivery is a client workshop which looks at the ways our projects go off course and even fail.
Powerful when:
- All project risk sits with you, and you want to rebalance that
- Projects have lots of unknowns which need surfacing before you start
- Clients see you as a supplier/vendor, but you want to provide a partner/consultant service
