Workshop Design and Facilitation

SpencerMaurice combines contemporary workshop facilitation and online collaboration tools to deliver engaging, effective, and productive workshops.

Our highly experienced team have a proven track record designing and delivering large sophisticated programs of remote workshops, as well as facilitating traditional in-person workshops, conferences, and structured coaching and mentoring programs.

All of our workshops are custom tailored to the needs of our clients, using robust facilitation and proven designs. This ensures that participant’s time is well spent, collaboration is inclusive and efficient, decisions are made, and that the desired outcomes are delivered.

We are flexible in our approach, and deliver using a range of industry standard technology video conferencing and collaboration platforms, that are widely used by large corporations and government agencies.

Our workshop and focus group methodology

SpencerMaurice has developed a highly customisable workshop methodology called Breakthrough. Breakthrough is underpinned by Human Centred Design (HCD) philosophies and systems analysis principles. Our methodology offers a flexible low-risk path for gathering insights from stakeholders, as well as co-designing, planning, and prioritising the implementation of initiatives.

Customised workshops tailored to your needs

SpencerMaurice combines contemporary workshop facilitation and online collaboration tools to deliver purposeful and engaging workshops and focus groups. As part of our Breakthrough methodology, we heavily focus on the design process. A successful workshop helps to answer a specific question, and will involve participants in the change process.

More specifically, our Breakthrough workshops encourage participants to:

Maximise the use of their existing skills and knowledge of system to enhance the output.
Feel heard, strengthen relationships and have impact.
See that tangible steps forward have been taken.

All of our workshops are designed using robust facilitation and design-led techniques. Our facilitators draw upon a range of proven tools and templates to guide and support each step of the design and facilitation process.

This ensures that the time spent is valuable, insightful, inclusive, and safe.

Our highly experienced facilitators are capable of tailoring and adapting to meet the needs of the moment, asking the right questions at the right time, engaging the power of the group’s wisdom, and aligning diverse perspectives towards coherent and compelling answers to big questions. Finally, they know how to grow trust, the most valuable group asset.

Co-design exercises are typically designed to include key stages of Immersion, Inspiration, Ideation, and plans for Implementation. This can potentially take place over one workshop or multiple workshops.
