The art and science of facilitation.
Whether you're an innovation coach, internal innovator or transformation leader, your ability to facilitate diverse teams through a structured process is critical to the success of changes you are driving.
A great facilitator is able to define a clear intention for a process, guide people through the process of solving problems together, and redirect people when they notice things getting off track. It’s not about giving your participants all the answers - it’s about creating an environment where they feel empowered to figure it out for themselves.
This bootcamp will combine theory with hands-on practice and real-time feedback to boost your skills as a facilitator of innovation, no matter the context.
Our learning style is fast-paced, hands-on and immersive. You'll be applying new skills and mindsets throughout the bootcamp, and you'll walk away with a set of new tools to use in your facilitation work.
🔎 Why is this important?
Facilitation is no longer just the realm of ODs or trainers. It is critical skill for any leader or internal change maker looking to influence and have impact. Effective facilitation is consistently rated as one of the most in-demand skills in the modern workplace.
🙋🏽 Who is this for?

Principal Consultant
Great, unique training tailored to what I do in my role as Innovation Consultant. I am expected to facilitate design thinking sessions and whilst I have learned about design thinking methodology I was struggling to deliver it in a Workshop environment. This course was what I needed to complete the loop.
Catherine Muraszko

I found the session to be very practical. I'll definitely be able to use all the tools I've learnt in my day-to-day work.
Aaron

Matt was an excellent facilitator and the content was easy to understand. The day was structured well with plenty of time to reflect on how to translate these new skills back into my workplace. Highly recommend not just for those working in innovation but anyone who facilitates workshops.

This workshop has really broad appeal, being useful for people new to design thinking but also for people who work in that space already but maybe needed a refresher
