Delivery Options

* This workshop is no less than 3 days in length for groups desiring to learn the skills and methods. Executive primers can be done in 2-4 hr meetings. This is a great workshop for project teams to attend.

This workshop:

  • This workshop is most effective in 3-day, 4-day, and 5-day sessions.
  • This workshop requires participants to bring a real design/redesign project.
  • This workshop allows for the substantive inclusion of "change and consulting " work to be taught as well. For example, IT project teams not ONLY have to take into account the installation of a new/enhanced IT tool but its "quick adoption " by end users as well as the upstream and downstream impacts on people and the tasks they perform. After all, this is where the real change work comes into play!
  • Participants will leave the workshop with real design solutions and a plan forward.
  • Excellent for entire project teams to attend together, including project sponsors.
