An interactive workshop can provide a chance to learn and grow that may not be available internally.
HOW IT WORKS
The core of all our workshops incorporates exercises from proven methods such as Design Sprint, Design Thinking, Service Systems Design, Strategic Management, Innovation, and Behavioral Science. We adapt these methods to suit the specifics of each challenge. Our 5 C’s framework (connect, collect, choose, create, commit), a creative problem-solving framework consists of five key steps: connecting for collaboration, clarifying the problem, finding solutions, selecting and designing the best option, and creating an action plan. This practical tool equips individuals and teams to develop ideas and make informed decisions.
Establish a connection with all participants to foster open communication and collaboration.
Gather all relevant information, insights, and challenges from participants.
Prioritize and select the most important challenges or problems to address.
Develop solutions and action plans based on the chosen ideas.
Ensure that participants commit to implementing the agreed-upon solutions or actions.
TESTIMONIALS
We’ve helped many teams and clients all around the world. Here’s what they have to say…
Martin Backes and his team are undoubtedly skilled and qualified innovation practitioners who know what they are talking about. They gave us a great foundation in facilitation techniques and Design Sprint methodology. The quality of their teaching and facilitation and the attention to detail in the way they present their approach set them apart. There is no doubt the methodology works and it’s impressive that we could do it all remotely without a hitch. We would definitely recommend their service to everyone who wants to change their way of working and foster team collaboration with innovative ways of problem-solving, decision-making, all while de-risking strategic projects.

We hired him to direct and consult us in our vision of becoming a worldwide-leading audio product. He used some custom-made Sprints to effectively align the Blinkist stakeholder team on the company’s brand and supported us in the process of becoming an audio-first company. The workshops were highly engaging and super productive. I was impressed by the amount of output we generated as a group, what would have taken months, took days. The Sprints gave our project the right boost to then go ahead and execute, bringing it to market only a few months later! In the end, we were even awarded the German Design Award for this project.
