Working sessions, not cohort programs

Workshops for a single leadership or functional group.

A workshop is a working session — you leave with tools you can apply Monday morning. A training program is a cohort journey. This page is for working sessions.

Quick comparison: A workshop fits in a single day with a single team. A corporate training program runs 4–12 weeks across a cohort. If you're trying to move a whole organization's capability, head to Corporate Training. If you're trying to move one team's working output in a day, you're in the right place.

Three formats

Pick the format that matches the urgency.

90-Minute Workshop

Single session · Tight window

Sharp working session for one leadership team. Best when there's a single, urgent decision to frame or a single operating-model gap to diagnose before the next quarter starts.

Group size
8–25 people. Single leadership or functional group.
Best fit
Leadership off-site opener, board prep, or executive-team alignment moment.
  • Working operating-model diagnostic
  • Top three blockers named
  • Decision frame for the next quarter

Half-Day Workshop

3–4 hours · Working pause

Workshops that produce a working plan. Best when a leadership group has half a day together and needs to walk out with shared language, a draft plan, and ownership for what happens next.

Group size
10–30 people. Single leadership or functional group.
Best fit
Executive alignment reset, annual planning kickoff, post-acquisition leadership integration.
  • Operating-model working plan
  • Owner assignments for the next 30 days
  • Shared vocabulary for the leadership group
  • Diagnostic patterns the team can re-apply

Full-Day Workshop

6–8 hours · Building day

Day-long working sessions for teams that need more than alignment — they need a working build. Useful when an operating-model redesign needs to leave the room in plan form.

Group size
12–35 people. Single leadership or functional group.
Best fit
Operating-model redesign prep, transformation program kickoff, post-merger leadership integration day.
  • Working operating-model redesign v1
  • Operating-architecture diagram and KPI mapping
  • 30/60/90-day operating-outcome roadmap
  • Risk register with owners

Sample flow

Diagnose → Frame → Build → Apply → Commit.

Every working session runs the same working rhythm. Participants move from real data, to naming the problem, to a working plan, to clear ownership.

  1. Phase 1
    Diagnose
  2. Phase 2
    Frame
  3. Phase 3
    Build
  4. Phase 4
    Apply
  5. Phase 5
