Bring the making into the room

Speaking and workshops

Keynotes, talks and workshops for leadership teams, boards and conferences, each shaped around the decisions, challenges and questions in front of the people in the room.

For leadership teams

Every engagement begins with the question the team is carrying.

Formats

Every engagement is shaped around the question, challenge, or decision a team faces at a turning point.

No two sessions run the same way, because no two teams stand at the same turning point. Will designs each one with the team in advance, starting from the transition it is in, what it has to resolve, and what it already knows.

Keynotes and talks

The ideas, played for the room

A talk for a conference, an offsite or a board on the ideas of Strategy Is the Making, carried by the recordings of The Interludes. The substance is fitted to the audience and to the moment its organization is in.

Half day

A single question

Time enough for a leadership team to take one consequential question apart, test what it assumes, and agree on the evidence that would change its mind.

Full day

A question that crosses the organization

A day for a team whose question reaches across functions and time horizons. The day is built from the team’s own material, and its shape follows what the team has to decide.

Three days

An organization in passage

Room for a leadership team in the middle of a transition, a merger or a change in how it operates to see the system it is part of, imagine the futures it may meet, and commit to the choices that move it.

How a session works

The leadership team
does the thinking.

The method supplies the structure and the rigor. Analysis between sessions pressure-tests what the room produced.

01A conversation first

Engagements open with conversation and humble inquiry about the decision the team faces and who has to carry it.

02The constraint that binds

Preparation looks for the constraint that governs the outcome, which is more often a policy, a governance process or a decision queue than a capacity problem.

03A facilitated room

The session is designed for this team and this decision, and it puts the team’s own knowledge to work.

04Evidence afterward

The team leaves with the choice framed and with the evidence that would tell it the choice needs to change.
