Match Peers

Getting the right people together is critical to the outcome of the workshop.

We carefully match you with other executives and handpick relevant expert advisors for each track: an orchestrated – and fully confidential – workshop process, designed to solve your specific business challenge. Matches are made based on industry, business challenge, and to avoid potential conflicts of interest. All participants are required to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA).

Individual Preparations

Preparation ensures that key issues are uncovered and included in the discussion.

Preparations are done with each executive individually to ensure full focus on your business challenge. Expert advisors help to frame the issues, establish the facts, and prepare the questions that need to be answered. After the preparation meeting, our facilitator created a summary fact sheet for each executive which will serve as a foundation for the group discussion.

Enterprise Workshops

Aligning objectives across subsidiaries or departments in a large organization can be a complex undertaking. Expeerience provides a framework and knowledge platform for enterprises to succeed at cross-organizational initiatives.

Expeerience supports the implementation of enterprise-level inititiaves by:

  • Elevating the business challenge to the right level in the enterprise so that it is not left with each subsidiary or department to deal with individually.

  • Lowering communication time between key stakeholders.

  • Providing outside facilitation in order to remove the tedious aspects of cross-functional administration, follow-ups etc.

Expeerience works with the enterprise to identify and coach key stakeholders in each of the involved business units, as well as identifying the best set of advisors for the given business challenge and enterprise.

Extending the Process

Enterprise-level initiatives are often long-term projects with stakeholders changing over time, requiring a knowledge development and management approach.

In addition to a comprehensive report containing actionable conclusions, enterprise customers each have a dedicated area of the Expeerience platform for their exclusive use. The Expeerience enterprise process can be extended either by repeating specific workshops, or by moving the remaining dialog to the online discussion forum of the platform – or a combination. Enterprise customers may give access to any number of employees or partners as part of their enterprise agreement.
