Developing a project brief
We define the problem, intended outcome, scope and open decisions. The team documents its project brief together.
Workshops
Workshops on digital transformation and collaboration in government
Your team needs to move a project forward, but the brief, priorities or responsibilities are still unclear. We work on those questions in the workshop. Depending on your needs, the result may be a project brief, a set of priorities or an agreement on how to work together.
Possible workshop topics
What your team can work on.
Selecting and prioritising processes
We distinguish between processes and tasks and agree selection criteria. The outcome may be a prioritised list of processes for further analysis.
Agreeing roles and decision-making arrangements
We make responsibilities, interfaces and dependencies visible. The team records who will take on which tasks and which decisions are still needed.
Preparing for change
We examine expectations and obstacles and agree what to address first. An action list with named owners can guide the work that follows.
Preparation and delivery
The intended outcome shapes the workshop.
In the planning call, we agree the question the team will address and what it needs to produce. We also discuss who should take part and which decisions the group can make itself.
The workshop combines facilitated discussion with work on your own project. Methods are chosen to suit the topic, group size and time available.
We also agree how the results will be documented: for example, a project brief, a prioritised list, or a record of responsibilities and actions. A follow-up discussion can be included in the scope.
The process
From the planning call to the work that follows.
01 · Prepare
Agree the question, group and outcome
We clarify the starting point and choose the right setting: half or full day, online or in person.
02 · Work together
Bring perspectives and decisions together
The team works on the agreed question. Open issues and necessary decisions become clear.
03 · Document
Record agreements and next steps
We document the result and agree who will take the work forward.
Commissioning a workshop
Questions about workshops.
Are online workshops available?
Yes. We adapt participation, working methods and group size to the topic. In-person workshops are also available.
Do we need a half day or a full day?
That depends on the question and the group. In the planning call, we assess how much time the work will need and what preparation would help.
Do we need a fully developed plan?
An outline of the starting point and the intended outcome is enough to begin with. We use that as the basis for planning the workshop.
What do you need to prepare a proposal?
The organisation, question, number of participants, intended outcome and preferred dates, plus the location or online format. The proposal sets out preparation, delivery and follow-up.
What should your team leave with?
Describe your project, the group and the intended outcome. I will suggest a suitable approach and prepare a proposal.
