Open Space: Every discussion engaging

Too often in meetings people find half the agenda engaging, and the rest rather less so. Open Space as a meeting, conversational or decision-making process ensures that people spend a 100% of their time in meetings that stimulate and engage them, discussing topics or questions that interest and energise them. It also allows for many different topics to be discussed at once, meaning that important discussions don’t get squeezed off the agenda.

World Café: Relax and Connect

Large formal meetings are often dominated by a few key voices with many people unwilling to contribute. The world café process is designed to encourage relaxed, informal yet purposeful conversations to take place in small café style grouping of six or so people who regularly move around between tables. Useful in many contexts to reduce the intimidating effects of speaking up in large groups, it excels when the objective is to have discursive and exploratory conversations.

Simureal: The whole system in the room

With large organizations divided into functions, geographically spread and linked by processes that take time to run from beginning to end, it is very easy for them to become a series of isolated functional silos that don’t really understand how they connect to the whole. Simureal brings the whole process together in one space to bring into sharp focus the departmental interconnections and inter-dependencies so the organization can adapt and grow.
