TEXT: Here to guide your thinking

Our action-oriented workshops enable you to start developing your people and designing the way they work together.

Grounded in academic research, balancing big-thinking with practical implementation, every workshop is created with alignment to the principles of the Workstyle Model.

HOW CAN YOU WORK BETTER?

Our Senior Leadership workshops help you to decide the changes that will move you forward, with an understanding of where you are and what is possible.

UNSURE WHERE TO GO WITH AI?

Prof. Choudhury guides senior leadership through a high-level strategy session featuring a keynote followed by a facilitated discussion amongst the group. This covers job redesign in the AI Era, work from anywhere, scaling AI pilots, successes, pain points and the behaviour change needed to thrive in the new age of work.

HOW READY IS YOUR ORGANISATION FOR WORK IN THE AGE OF AI?

Drawing on the latest findings from the Workstyle Monitor, Lizzie Penny and Alex Hirst help your senior leadership team understand how work is changing — and explore what that means for your organisation.

Combining original research, the Workstyle Model of Work and your own readiness diagnostic, this interactive session explores the role of individual, connective and team capability — and the leadership conditions that enable them — in shaping organisational performance.

DOES BETTER WELLBEING ALWAYS MEAN BETTER PERFORMANCE?

Prof. Mike Clinton guides senior leadership through an evidence-led session exploring the complex relationship between wellbeing and performance. Combining academic insight with facilitated discussion, he challenges conventional assumptions about engagement and burnout, and helps leaders examine how work itself can be designed to enable sustainable performance and wellbeing.

How can your team succeed?

Our professional development workshops help to ensure that your future ways of working are successfully implemented through your people.

WONDERING HOW AI CAN improve work?

Prof. Choudhury delivers a keynote and then guides middle-management participants through how they can reimagine their jobs to start working better with AI tools. This covers job crafting, using Large Language Models (LLMs) to analyse calendars, emails, and outputs to classify tasks into those suitable for AI as a coach, those where AI should be treated as a colleague, and those tasks where AI should play no role.

HOW DO WE WORK AT OUR BEST — INDIVIDUALLY AND TOGETHER?

In this highly practical session, Lizzie Penny and Alex Hirst help managers and teams explore the skills and behaviours needed to work well in the age of AI — balancing responsibility to self with dependability to others.

Using the Workstyle Model of Work, participants explore the capabilities that help people perform at their best: from self-understanding, judgement and agency to communication, cooperation, collaboration and connection.

HOW WELL DO YOU MANAGE YOURSELF AT WORK?

Prof. Mike Clinton guides managers and teams through a practical session exploring the mindsets, skills and behaviours needed to manage themselves effectively at work. Combining research with practical discussion and exercises, he helps participants strengthen self-understanding, motivation, confidence and self-management to support greater autonomy, sustainable performance and wellbeing.
