Facilitating Workshops
Our proven 4D approach enables us to design a workshop or programme that will maximise impact and effectiveness for your team.
Facilitating Team Workshops
When is a workshop better than a meeting?
There are many reasons for needing a workshop. These might include: developing employee skills, getting teams to work better together, building new teams, problem-solving, generating new ideas, and sharing knowledge across teams.
Whether it’s a one-off, a series of workshops or a large-scale event, whatever its purpose, a lot of careful planning and preparation is needed to make sure you successfully deliver its aims.
Treehouse’s team of facilitators are highly experienced in designing, developing and delivering workshops and programmes.
Using our proven 4D approach we make sure that we really understand the brief, to enable us to design a workshop or programme that will maximise impact and effectiveness for the client. The elements of the approach are:
DIAGNOSE: interviews with workshop owner and key stakeholders to understand the brief and gain insight.
DEVELOP: define a clear question the workshop will answer and align with the workshop owner. Design the workshop, selecting the right tool(s) to achieve the outcome and maximise participant engagement. Develop any materials that will support the session. Identify the facilitation team who will deliver the session or programme.
DELIVER: facilitate the workshop, flexing and adapting to the people in the room and the conversation. Check-in with the workshop owner to ensure objectives are being met. Capture outputs throughout the session.
DOCUMENT: Synthesise and analyse outputs. Prepare a write-up that clearly presents outcomes and is engaging for those who attended and wider stakeholders.
Workshop Planning
Workshops are meticulously planned, breaking down the day into chunks of time during which your facilitator will run carefully chosen activities to deliver specific outcomes, which build towards the end purpose of the session.
Activities are designed to maximise participant engagement, taking into account differing personality preferences and working styles. Our workshops are challenging, yet fun!
In choosing Treehouse you choose a collaborative partner committed to the success of your event.

Facilitating Innovation
CASE STUDY: DSTL
A workshop to reassess priorities due to sudden changes in the UK economy.
“The workshop helped us identify three other parts of the organisation that working effectively with would be critical to success. We felt these above all others needed robust lines of communication. And indeed there was the potential for the three entities to work together - thereby reducing the dependency on the Project Management Office (PMO) to cohere activity.
The opportunity was spotted, articulated, and dialogue towards achievement happened in the space of 45 mins!
Winner!”
