Workshops are arranged for many different reasons, but so often there is something more beneath the surface – a deeper question that needs to be answered or a problem that the client cannot yet articulate.
Clients are ‘inside’ the problem, so it is understandable that they might not be able to truly define and understand it.
So, how do we cut through the noise and get to the real purpose of our workshops?
Britt Andreatta has been asking this question for a long time and has developed a brilliant participant-focused strategy to identify the real topic of workshops that remains true to the client’s needs.
