1713

In this fun but highly insightful activity, we task participants to explain different concepts to each other. The catch is that the person listening pretends they are from 1713.

Beginner's Mind

We can sometimes be weighed down by the "curse of knowledge", believing we know everything about a role or problem. Instead, tap into the beginner's mindset by imagining today is your first day in your current role. How would the new you approach things differently?
Technique

Constraints

Constraints are often the source of our best ideas. Think of Twitter's 140 character limit, or the 18 minute limit for TED Talks. We invite participants to write a list of all the constraints on a current project, then make them worse or introduce more severe constraints to force more radical, ambitious approaches. What new ideas does this provoke?

Creative Blockers

Our brains hate taking risks, because we’re naturally wired to avoid failure. This is useful - it keeps us safe in an unpredictable and complex world. But it also keeps our ideas safe, so we don't run the risk of getting things wrong. Unfortunately, safe and reliable doesn't equal creative and original.

Creative Process

If you ask many people how they come up with ideas, they will describe it as a magical process, where ideas appear at random times and places, such as in the bath, or just as they're falling asleep. But something, somewhere will have enabled that idea - whether by design or chance inspiration.
Activity

Customer Experience

We’ll identify 1-3 customer personas that are relevant to your business and will explore what it is like to be them using an Empathy Map. We'll consider how they think and feel, what they do and say as well as considering their pains, wants and gains from working with you.

Easy High Impact

Which of your ideas and projects should take priority? Which will offer the best return for the least resources? If some of your ideas look great but seem hard to achieve, can you simplify or streamline them so they take less resources or effort?

End In Mind

End In Mind allows you to put your chosen ideas through a process where we first determine the desired outcome or end point. We then work backwards to reveal the necessary steps and actions required to achieve that outcome.

Four-Corner Feedback

Each person takes a sheet of paper and divides it in four. In each corner of the page they answer a question or complete a statement, giving feedback on the session and its outcomes. We then go around the group and hear some of the feedback.
Module
Teamwork

Great Teams

An interactive session based on Google’s Project Aristotle research, which revealed the importance of ‘psychological safety’ and other factors as key ingredients to effective teams.

Growth Mindset

A concise introduction to Growth Mindset theory, based on the book and supporting research by Carol Dweck. We’ll also run a self-assessment poll to get participants engaged with the content and the workshop format.

How Might We...?

How Might We... is a way of starting a question to kick-start a discussion. The open-ended, optimistic phrasing is designed to encourage broad thinking. This technique was developed at P&G in the 1970s, and it has been used and promoted extensively by the design company IDEO.
Technique
Innovation

Idea Collisions

Many creative thinkers get their results by connecting existing concepts together to create something original. Here we try this systematically with ideas generated so far. How can the aspects of one idea merge with or be added to the aspects of another idea?
Technique
Strategy

Looking Ahead

A future-focused session that asks: what are your biggest priorities and events over the coming months? What's likely to happen and what can we do about it? Which relationships are strong - and which need work? What opportunities are we most excited and passionate about?
Activity
Teamwork

Making It Happen

Now we discuss applying everything you've learned into your daily practice. What feels natural? What will need some work? What will make the biggest impact? What learnings and advice will you pass on to others?
Technique
Innovation

Mirror Test

Put yourself in the shoes of your competitor, or your opposite number. If you were them, and imagine they know everything about you and your weaknesses. What would they do with that information? How would they capitalise?
Technique

Nightmare Scenarios

What’s the worst thing that could happen in your business? What keeps you up at night? This proactive activity invites participants to share their fears and risks, revealing problems to be solved and perceptions to be tackled.

TESTIMONIAL
"Our workshop with Creative Huddle achieved all our aims. It offered a chance for the team to think in different ways using different tools, some of which they have already put to use in other meetings. The second part of the session was a great practical exercise where the team agreed an action plan for our next steps that were solution driven. It was also brilliant to have someone independent of the team which freed me as manager to be more involved, and the team to be more confident about speaking up. Thanks Creative Huddle!"
