Connecting with the 2020 Group Strategy
A French insurance group
We are often asked what our limits are. Our answer never changes: we have none!
For many people, a collaborative workshop is only for small groups. How could we extend it to larger settings?
With Stormz, by combining methodology and technology, we’ve been able to bring 1.200 participants to work together, in one room and with one facilitator.
The challenge was significant: How to get coworkers working together on the group strategy for 2020?
1: Between dreams and nightmares
We split the audience into eight subgroups and assigned one of the main strategic change to each of them. The participants were divided in groups of three and had to fill in their Dream or Nightmare card by describing the various events which led to this result.
2: The Product Box 2020
Participants summarized the key issues of the 2020 Strategy, we came with an hybrid package (digital and manual) inspired from the Agile software development.
3 : Collaborative Pitch
First in trios and then with their whole table, for participants to summarize the key issues of the 2020 Strategy, we came up with a hybrid package (digital and manual) inspired from the Agile software development.
Congratulations to the members of Stormz for this digital achievement and the perfect fulfillment of their task: 2 x 1200 participants working together and in groups. Their digital tools have made it possible to hand over the group strategy and invite the managers to work together crosswise. Stormz managed to conduct this event on both the form and the content: it structured the workshop and drew meaning, with the talent of Alexandre as facilitator.
