Update: Until April 2021 this interactive workshop was previously known as Leading with Outcomes (LwO). That name now belongs to the corresponding (and complementary) self-paced training.

In this hands-on workshop of two 2-hour sessions we practice two related things:

1. Putting outcomes before solutions, being outcome-oriented
2. The language of outcomes as an essential discipline for managers, coaches, facilitators, and consultants

At this workshop’s heart is the IdOO pattern, short for Ideal, Obstacles, Outcomes. Demonstrating its power and flexibility we use this pattern twice, implementing it with a range of different tools over the two sessions.

Whatever your role, if you’re in the business of encouraging innovation, change, and transformation – helping people engage meaningfully in change-related work – then this workshop is for you. Our short training workshops Strategic Mapping with Outcomes and Probe! are ideal followups.

Among this workshop’s sources and inspirations are Clean Language, Solutions Focus, Challenge Mapping, Lean, and Agile. The Agendashift™ delivery assessment is included in the second session.

Online, this participatory workshop is conducted ‘open mic’ via Zoom and Google Docs. Afterwards, participants receive a certificate of participation.

Workshop overview

1. Discovery: Describing where we'd like to get to

Establishing organisational context and high-level objectives, obstacles, and outcomes using these exercises (and more):

• Celebration-5W – our context-setting kickoff exercise
• True North / Obstacles – reflection, followed by obstacle generation and refinement
• 15-minute FOTO (Lite) – the introductory version of our Clean Language-inspired coaching game
• Plan on a Page – organising the outcomes produced in the preceding exercises

2. Exploration: Prospecting for opportunities

Prospecting for opportunities, practicing skills acquired in the first session and reinforcing the IdOO pattern as we dig into the detail:

• Survey debrief / obstacles – completing the Agendashift delivery assessment and working with the results
• 15-minute FOTO (Classic) – a more challenging version this time round
• Overview of some possible next steps
