Remote workshops for ideas, strategy and decision-making
Bespoke workshops delivered online
These workshops have been created to get the very best out of attendees and give them the best opportunity to contribute and share their perspectives.
To create the best conditions for collaboration, we’ll use a mix of technology and lots and lots of humanity. The human part is the most important element. Everything else is just logistics.
I’ll work closely with you to plan the sessions and develop the workshop exercises. We’ll agree on the outputs and how to judge them.
The results will be just as good as you’d get if everyone was in the same room.
Whatever you need a workshop for
Idea generation
Strategy
Decision making
Anything else
Because each workshop is created bespoke, it means we’re not restricted in the kind of workshops we can run.
Just let us know what you want to achieve and I’ll do my best to create something to get the output you want.
Getting the technology in place
I prefer to use Zoom and Google Docs as my main technology to deliver the workshops.
However, your organisation may have its own preferred technology. That’s fine. It may take a little more time for preparation and may cause some changes to how the session is run but I’ll do my best to fit in.
How I'll work with you
Define the output
Prepare the workshop
We’ll curate the right attendees based on the knowledge and skills we’ll need. I’ll contact all the attendees in advance to prepare them and make sure they have the right technology in place.
Deliver the workshop
Deliver the output
The sessions we do during the workshop will be designed to supply us with the bones of the output. I’ll help you refine this raw material to get the thinking into the format that’s most useful to you.

Who runs the activity?
The workshops are planned and run by Dave Birss (which shouldn’t come as a surprise if you’ve looked at this page’s web address.)
Dave is a former advertising creative director who picked up lots of awards for his work during his years in the industry. For the last ten years, he’s been teaching, speaking and writing books on creativity and innovation. As well as consulting for companies to help them get better ideas out of their teams.
Dave has taught at universities all over the world, from London to New York, Santiago to Singapore. He’s also created a couple of popular courses on LinkedIn Learning. And is currently working on another four courses that will be available later in the year.
As someone who has run countless workshops and is pretty handy with technology, these remote workshops are a natural step for him.
