Who are Activation Workshops for?

If you're a change management practitioner, a CLO, a Director of Learning, or a learning experience designer, you'll find our Activation Workshops extremely valuable.

We've also created customized Activation Workshops for clients who want to apply our activation framework to specific challenges such as digital adoption, new business process adoption, connectedness of remote teams, and other change and learning challenges.

What can I expect?

Before your Activation Workshop, you'll receive an invitation to our preparatory activation experience. This will include pre-workshop reading material, a short survey, and a digital version of our
Activation Tactics cards.

Activation Workshops run for 2–3 hours. You'll learn about our tried-and-tested activation methodology and will receive an individualized activation plan that's focused on your audience, activation problems, objectives, and results.

You can join one of our upcoming workshops in your city, or we can work together to arrange a customized workshop for your team.
