Tuesday saw the public debut of the Impact! workshop. It took place in Tampa ahead of the Open Leadership Symposium there, and it comes to London next week. Use code LONDON2020 for 20% off! Feel free to get in touch privately if you think you may qualify for a larger discount.
What it is
A 1-day, customer-centric workshop, dealing in strategy, outcomes, experiments, and a little bit of leadership and org design. All intended to get product, development, and service delivery of all levels of experience onto the same page, speaking the same language, the language of outcomes.
What they said
- “These product goal tools/models extremely helpful for product development, both new and already under development”
- “Aligning organisations to customer needs from the outside in – very insightful”
- “Thinking tools for the organisation”
- “Understanding right (needs) to left (process)”
- “Outcome based experimentation for determining customer needs”
- “Great approach to product development and strategy”
- “Bringing practical, high-impact tools to the change practitioner’s toolkit”
- “Dynamic coaching framework that tames unhelpful advice-giving tendencies”
- “Highly interactive, real application methods”
- “Tools easy to understand, thought-provoking to use”
- “Telling stories and proving concepts”
- “Highlight: Option Relationship Mapping, especially the customer visibility axis”
- “Want to see our org try Option Relationship Mapping to solve for product strategy”
- “Loved 15-minute FOTO – very complementary to other coaching models”
- “Will use obstacles and outcomes with Clean Language for discovery”
Things to revisit (not all of them for a 1-day workshop)
“Don’t change anything” was one delightful piece of feedback! I won’t be resting on my laurels though. To reflect on:
- These tools in relationship to larger product development frameworks
- More case study depth (aka ‘Springboard’)
- Pointers to opportunities to practice
