Opportunity Framing Workshops are used for early project planning and to bring key decision-makers, the team, and stakeholders together in a professionally facilitated setting to understand, explore, articulate, and align upon what the project frame is about.

We specialize in bringing project teams together, unleashing their collective wisdom, and guiding them through dynamic and highly productive sessions.

Our facilitation expertise drives clarity, alignment, and establishes a clear roadmap for project success.

Through our facilitation process, we help your teams gain a deep understanding of project objectives, value drivers, scope, givens and assumptions, understand strategic fit, iand establish a shared vision. We navigate through complexities, identify potential roadblocks, opportunities and collectively develop strategies to overcome challenges. 

The outcome? A cohesive project team that is aligned, motivated, and equipped with a robust roadmap for success. Our dynamic facilitation techniques drive consensus, foster efficient decision-making, and enable your team to execute projects with precision and confidence.

Project Managers, Does It Sound Familiar?

  • Jumping to conclusions too quickly without understanding what we are trying to achieve and why

​

  • Making decisions using unconscious assumptions

​

  • Misalignment between the team doing the work and leadership groups providing funding

 

  • Team feeling overwhelmed by not knowing what to focus on first

  • Teams falling into a groupthink trap. Decisions are frequently made by the same, most vocal person. Teams repeatedly drift toward a particular idea, and they fail to recognize contradictory information or better solutions.

 

  • Lack of early planning that results in poor services, frustration and even lack of funding or misalignment.

 

  • Executing projects or initiatives without having a clarity on the purpose and what our customers want

This workshop gave our team a great opportunity to explore and buy into how we can achieve further acceleration of Greater Enfield FID, as requested by the CEO. We certainly achieved this on the day, aided very much by Iwona's facilitation."
