Short, live sessions with leading authors and practitioners. Join a free monthly briefing on a new book or piece of research, or a hands-on lab where your managers practice new tools and apply them to the challenges they face this week.
The expert walks through the key ideas from a new book or piece of research and what they mean for your work, then answers your questions.
A working session, not a lecture. The expert brings tools you can put to work right away, shows you how to use them, then you work through them together in small groups on the challenges people brought.
The two- to three-hour workshop was built for a different workload. Today's managers are covering more with less, and a morning away means a day of catching up. Too often they sit through slides, nod along, and go back to the same problem they had before.
Our labs flip that. A short, focused dose of expertise, then most of the session spent practicing the tools on the issues your people are facing now.
Every Expert Skills Lab is built so people leave with tools they have already used.
Each participant tells us the challenge they want to work on, so the expert knows what the group is facing before the session.
The expert brings tools you can put to work right away and shows you how to use them.
In small groups of about five, people practice the tools step by step, with the expert moving between groups to coach.
The expert helps you apply the tools to the challenge you brought. You keep the tools and templates.
Bring an Expert Skills Lab in-house for your managers. We match the expert to your challenge, collect your team's challenges in advance, and build the working session around them.
