Strategy workshop to analyze and develop a tailor-made corporate strategy With our strategy workshop format, we provide you with a powerful tool for developing a corporate strategy quickly and cost-effectively. We think out-of-the-box and plan all the building blocks that are important for the success of your company or enterprise. The workshop analyzes the current situation and the potential of various measures in relation to the planned project. The results of the workshop lead to a tailored strategy for any complex task in your company. You will quickly receive concrete results that can then be used as a basis for obtaining targeted offers and detailed budget planning. Methods for strategic workshops Design Thinking: This user-centered method promotes creativity and innovation by focusing on empathy, idea generation and prototyping. The participants go through various phases to develop solutions that are directly tailored to the needs of the users. SWOT analysis: This method helps to identify a company's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. It promotes discussion of internal and external factors that influence the strategy. PESTEL analysis: This method looks at political, economic, social, technological, environmental and legal factors that affect the market and business environment. It is useful for identifying opportunities and risks. OGSM (Objectives, Goals, Strategies, Measures): This method structures strategic considerations in a clear framework that defines objectives and the corresponding measures to facilitate implementation. Open Space Technology: This method is particularly suitable for large groups and promotes the self-organization of participants. Topics are introduced by the participants and they decide for themselves in which groups they want to work. World Café: This method promotes exchange in small groups and allows participants to discuss at several tables before switching groups. This allows different perspectives and ideas to be collected. Fishbowl discussion: This method is particularly effective in larger groups. It enables a structured discussion in which an inner circle actively discusses while the outer circle listens in order to overcome hierarchies. Sailboat analysis: This playful version of the SWOT analysis visualizes strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in the form of a boat, which makes the discussion more dynamic and interactive. 6 Thinking hats according to Edward de Bono: This technique promotes creative thinking by encouraging participants to think about a topic from different perspectives (emotional, critical, optimistic, etc.). These methods can be individually selected and combined depending on the objectives, number of participants and complexity of the topic in order to achieve effective results in strategic workshops.
