PlusOne – Marketing Musings

Ever been in one of these situations….you are asked to attend a two day workshop to work out how to solve an issue….

By the end of the first day some of the participants are at each other’s throats, while others have lost the plot and others are only there to take notes.
By morning tea on the second day the ground that should have been covered easily on the first day still has not been properly addressed. Everyone is tired, frustrated and just wants to go escape…. and the second part of the process is rushed through so fast no-one is satisfied with the outcome.

PlusOne has available a facilitated strategic email process that can achieve the same as a two day workshop, at lesser cost and without participants having to leave their desk. An added bonus is participation can be during the day or evening, as response cycles make allowances for people’s different availabilities. Some of the uses of a facilitated strategic email process are:

• Staff/stakeholder consultation 
• Identifying options and approaches through brainstorming 
• Planning – Conference, strategic or mission 
• Information synthesis, 
• Data analysis 
• Project or program evaluation reviews 
• Selecting ideas for guest speakers 
• Role playing and scenario analysis 
• Performing a SWOT analysis 
• Group decision-making and problem solving 
• Depolarisation of issues through group awareness 
• A learning tool

If your business has staff spread around a city the country or even internationally, then our email workshops are ideal. Just contact us and we will send you further information, or give us a call (+61 7 4630 1511) or via Skype, we are only too happy to discuss its application to your business situation and needs.
