How We Work

We bring CPS to your challenge —
or we build the capability in your team

Some organisations need an expert hand to guide them through a complex challenge right now. Others want to develop a lasting internal capability — leaders and teams who can facilitate creative problem solving themselves. We offer both, and we can help you decide which fits.

Choose your path
Option A
We facilitate
for you
You bring the challenge. We design and lead the process from start to solution.
What this involves
  • Challenge scoping A pre-session conversation to understand your context, stakeholders, and the outcomes that matter
  • Designed facilitation A tailored CPS process — half-day, full-day, or multi-session — built around your specific challenge
  • Expert neutral leadership We hold the process so your team can focus entirely on the thinking
  • Action-ready outputs Clear decisions, prioritised ideas, and a momentum plan your team can act on immediately
Right for you if…
  • The challenge is urgent or high-stakes
  • You need an independent, trusted voice in the room
  • Your team is too close to the problem to lead the process
  • You want results, not a course
Option B
We build the
capability in you
Your people learn to lead CPS — and take that skill into every challenge that follows.
What this involves
  • Needs assessment We establish the current capability baseline and define what good looks like for your context
  • Practitioner training Hands-on CPS facilitation skills for leaders, managers, or specialist innovation roles
  • Live application Participants practise on real challenges — not case studies — during the programme itself
  • Ongoing support Coaching and light-touch follow-up as your newly trained facilitators lead their first sessions
Right for you if…
  • You face recurring or structural challenges
  • You want to embed creative thinking in your culture
  • You're investing in leadership capability
  • You want a lasting return, not a one-off session
Not sure which is right for you?

Many of our engagements begin with facilitation and evolve into training — or combine both. A short conversation is usually enough to identify the right starting point. We're straightforward about what will actually serve you best.

How an engagement typically unfolds
01
Discovery call
20 minutes to understand your challenge, your team, and whether we're the right fit
02
Scoping & design
We shape a proposal that reflects your specific context, not an off-the-shelf package
03
Delivery
Facilitation, training, or a blend — conducted with care, rigour, and adaptability
04
Follow-through
We stay available to support momentum, embed learning, and revisit as needed
