See all- Workshop Culture: a guide to building teams that thrive - Alison CowardLink visible for attendees
The Future of Work Scotland team are thrilled to start the 2025 program with a session with author of Workshop Culture - Alison Coward.
When we run great workshops, teams can achieve amazing things together. With the support of an expert facilitator, a team collaborates effectively, builds new ideas, moves projects forward and even builds better relationships as colleagues.
Alison Coward loved the results she got for teams in the collaborative sessions that she facilitated, but often wondered when they finished, why does it have to stop here? Don’t we need all of these outcomes, every day? So she started to explore what facilitators did to make teams gel and how that could be extended beyond the end of a workshop.
She coined the term “Workshop Culture” and published a book on the concept in November 2023. The book explores the question – “what if every day felt like your team’s most productive away day?”
In this session, Alison will introduce you to the concept of Workshop Culture and explain its main ideas.Learning Objectives:
