“The best way to look at the future is to look carefully at the present”

Thitch Nhat Hanh

What does my team get in a “workshop”?

Even if tasks and goals are clear in a company, it is often very difficult to implement these. Our experience has shown us that if the core e-commerce team meets with practice experts, receives intensive know-how, and then acts on its own – under the expert’s eye , the team will develop skills rapidly and for the long-term.
The core team of the company gathers practical experience to continue what it has learned from that moment on.

In the workshops organized by and with us in your company, your team gets the concentrated power and expertise of the founders. Not only will we analyze the whole concept, but we will start exactly at the point where your core team already is, so that every single minute of the workshop will be used intensively for all participants.
Individually and adapted to the needs, situation, problems and objectives of each team, they will get the best practical tips, which are developed, implemented and tested together in the workshop. A workshop with us is an intensive working meeting and training of your team with our experts.

Our goal is the development of activities for the future, which then can be further implemented in everyday work. The result of the workshop is increased productivity of the participants and increased overall results.

Our workshops are mainly suitable for the development of product ideas, strategies and concepts as well as problem solving and team building.

What are we going to do?

In order to develop new ideas, there is often hardly enough space in the daily work routine due to numerous routine activities. A workshop in a non-routine environment, away from the day-to-day office or work location, with selected core team members, will allow you to “spin” ideas and then derive the next steps your e-commerce can take to power up. Topics, goals, tasks and results are defined in close cooperation before the workshop and are therefore clearly defined and oriented precisely to the customer’s needs.

Our workshops provide the ideal opportunity to work with the core team to develop and implement activities to solve persistent issues in the field. Our workshops consist of a good mix of theory – state-of-the-art know-how conveyed in an entertaining way – and practice – by allowing the participants to become active themselves and to solve questions on problems directly on site.

What happens after a workshop?

The results of the workshop will be prepared by us for the management. We also suggest that after a certain period of implementation, we continue with a follow-up to see how the activities we have developed are integrated into the daily work and how the steps are being followed up.

That could be a possible workshop example:

The turnover with the current products stagnates. The leader of your sales department wants to familiarize their employees with new ways of approaching and retaining customers, but not by preselecting specific techniques, but by taking their entire team to a whole new approach.

And this is exactly where we start as experts. In advance, we create a concept with the sales manager. Here we work with concentrated power and by questioning techniques and new approaches we clarify every aspect in cooperation with the sales manager. Then we sit together in a team and work out the workshop.

After all, employees should look for ways to grow their business and be guided by us in the right direction. At the end of the workshop, your employees developed the goal – to generate satisfied and returning customers – and are highly motivated to continue implementing this goal for your company.
The special benefit of our workshop for companies and their employees is obvious:
In our workshop, your employees generate new ideas and activities to implement them in their daily work and thus to drive their company forward.

What are the advantages?

In our experience, involvement of the core team itself, is a factor that gives the team a tangible boost. The willingness to help shape and implement certain activities and thereby bring change, increases the workshop’s impact enourmously. The employees are involved in the project right from the start – so they usually identify better with the activities that have been worked out and the following self-developed changes.
Not to be underestimated is the feeling of working together for a self-developed goal that is difficult to achieve in the routined work life.

How do we rate the success of the workshop?

At the beginning of the workshop, the participants develop measures to recognize the current situation and at the same time measures how it should change. The results have to be implementable in everyday life. The specific KPIs (Key Performance Indicator) are defined with the participants, because measuring successes is a satisfying factor for all participants.

At one glance:

The outstanding benefits of a workshop:
The participants develop practicle activities during a workshop and learn how to implement them.
The defined activities are implemented: Anyone who is involved in the conception of changes from the start, will be better at implementing them in their everyday work.
Results become visible: By measuring the implementation and empowerment of those who implement these goals, the essential foundations for success are laid.

Our workshops are for:

For core teams in marketing & sales, e-commerce, sales, and for all companies that have set up an e-commerce team and want to put it into practice to prepare their company for the next quantum leap!
