Inspire. Solve. Execute.

When you need to change the usual way of thinking, you need to escape the traditional office setting and traditional offsite.   That’s why we created the Deliberate Offsite.
We custom design your offsite especially for your team and your team dynamics.

In our leadership offsite experiences, we:

• Conduct a series of pre-event strategic planning sessions with your team
• Custom design engaging exercises in group as well as breakout formats
  Provide keynote speaking and professional moderating
• Conduct a cultural survey and/or the inclusion of individual assessments (e.g. Strengthsfinder) and exercises
• Conduct interviews with key team members to build alignment and excitement for the offsite

When your team needs to do a deep dive into a new trend, category or strategy and the traditional advisory board or research just aren’t enough, it’s time for a Deliberate Think Tank.

The Think Tank modernizes the way you collaborate with customers and partners.  What makes the Think Tank experience unique is that we bring together outside thinkers who provide feedback, insights, and ideas directly related to your team’s area of exploration.

In a Think Tank, we:

• Combine the energy that you’ll find in a design thinking workshop together with a strategic advisory event
• Recruit external experts and creative thinkers to participate in your event
  
• Facilitate ideation exercises that are fun AND productive
  
• Incorporate game mechanics and behavioral science
  
• Gather insights and make recommendations at the end

The best source of inspiration and wisdom is often our customers.  But all too often we create solutions for our customers without our customers input.

The Customer Roundtable is an innovation mash-up of customer research and an ideation workshop.

The Customer Roundtables is used to gather insights and co-create solutions together with your customers and/or partners.

In a Roundtable, we:

• Incorporate game mechanics and behavioral science
• Inspire people through engaging keynotes and moderated panels
• Facilitate ideation exercises that are fun AND productive
• Gather insights and make recommendations at the end

If you’re tired of getting the same old, familiar ideas and following the same tired process of brainstorming, you need the Deliberate Problem Solving Workshop Model.

Our systematic approach is built on this principle:  “Somewhere, Someone Has Solved Your Problem Before.” And we make it our mission to uncover those metaphors and analogies and bring them into your workshop to accelerate solutioning.

In a Deliberate Problem Solving Workshop, we:

• Visually map your business challenge(s) and identify the business issues that we will focus during the session
• Conduct internal and external research to validate the challenge and questions that will be solved
• Run a crowdsourcing challenge and inject those ‘use cases’ into the workshop
• Bring a team of masterful creative problem solving facilitators to lead you
• Produce actionable solutions that you can include in your brand or operating plan

If you want your hackathon to solve real business challenges, you need a hackathon that’s powered by problem solving experts and not computer science experts.

In Traditional Hackathons:

• It’s focused largely on a technology problem and not a core business problem
• It’s limited to a select few tech nerds
• Participants are given minimal coaching or guidance
• It’s so time constrained that no real innovation happens
• Produce actionable solutions that you can include in your brand or operating plan

But in a Deliberate Hackathon, We:

• Focus the Hackathon on carefully scoped and design business challenge that participants can relate to
• Make it an experience that can include any team member
• Train your participants in the basics of design thinking
• Coach your participants throughout the process to produce meaningful results.

The Clinical Study Acceleration Model is a highly engaging, creative problem-solving workshop
model that helps you to accelerate your clinical study by getting your study back on track by
identifying underlying issues and creatively solving them together with your clinical study partners.
The Deliberate Workshop starts when your study is stuck. Whether you’re 3 months into the study
or more than 12 months have passed, a Deliberate Workshop should be held when you know
something isn’t working right with your study.

In a “Clinical Trial Acceleration Workshop”, we:

• * Conduct strategic consultation sessions with your team to ensure you are focused on the right problems
• * Integrate advanced facilitation techniques found in behavioral science and creative problem solving together with your clinical study insights and experience
• *Interview your cross-functional partners and map the key clinical study barriers and pain points
  that are getting in the way
• *Bring those insights into the workshop and work with both your team and investigator community
  to turn those barriers into creative, actionable solution
• *Produce actionable solutions that will break your clinical study bottlenecks AND highly energize
  and engage your investigator community to accelerate your study

When you need to build out a product or service solution fast. You need to sprint. That’s where our
Deliberate Design Sprint comes in.
The Deliberate Design Sprint is a systematic way to inspire employees from across the
organization to LEARN advanced design thinking and innovation techniques AND apply to SOLVE
big company challenge.

In a “Deliberate Design Sprint”, we:

• Conduct strategic consultation sessions with your team to ensure you are focused on the right challenge
• Train you on more than a dozen techniques from design thinking and lean start-up
• Host and moderated kick-off sessions, learning sessions and a final pitch competition

It’s not enough to talk about innovation. You have to do it. That’s why we designed the Deliberate
