Workshops
The concept of the company-workshops is authentic, tried and flexible. The sessions focus on collectively creating a company map wherein all sorts of emotions and processes are made visible in an informal manner. Making a company map together is a very creative instrument for teambuilding and company coaching.
A special moment during the workshop is the presentation of a rough sketch of the company in which the participants can recognize their company in all its facets. This sketch will be complemented, optimized and completed by the participants.
At your request the final result is made into a monumental map of which copies can be made for all the participants.
The first step in the process is taken in preliminary talks between Martijn Kessler and the client. Here the shape of the company landscape for the workshop is formed and the specific mode is decided. The mode can differ a great deal depending on the company, the number of participants in the workshop and the client`s wishes.
The approach can be recreational, but as it is also a great tool for teambuilding and corporate analysis, we can work with an efficient schedule, a seating arrangement and a participant analysis. The workshops are extremely suitable to create consensus for sensitive changes within the corporate world in an open manner. A special quality is the combination of an informative horizontal process, a creative setting filled with humor and an approach where the result comes out in a playful way. This amounts to new insights, more transparency , a navigational tool and a reflective, unique piece of art.
Companymap.nl can manipulate the sketched company landscape to such an extent that the participants focus their mind particularly on a certain part of the company process.
Another choice can be made between charting the everyday processes with all their ups and downs or to focus on the individual aspect. In that case all the participants will be put on the map personally. The emphasis is than placed on the mutual connection between different employees and their units. In that case the sketch that is made after the preliminary talk will related to so called company configuration techniques.
Afterwards the client can choose to have the sketches from the workshop made into one map. All the ins and outs of the different sketches will be processed into one map. Before the map is definitely finished the client is sent an example to correct possible mistakes and add last-minute inspiration. Copies can be made of the final result for the entire organization. Our company maps are high in quality and serve as an important tool for reference and orientation.
Discussions and brainstorm-sessions about a new direction or a reorganization can be visualized by our team prior to the workshop, these visualizations are a perfect stepping stone to a geofiction workshop.
After the workshop there can be an evaluation and a possible follow-up.
