CASE STUDY 1 - International Coaching Organisation

Our client wanted to engage people with the values of the company - to help turn lofty slogans into deeply held principles. We selected a range of 5 ten-minute plays from our award-winning selection that reflected these values being lived as well as not. We gave both an entertaining interlude and a rich source of material that deepened the debates on Day Two.

"A unique way to build teams. Highly effective." Ron Tanner, Chairman. 

CASE STUDY 2 - U.S. Motor Company

Our client wanted a way to bring disparate functions together into a 'One Team' approach. Using metaphors and by exploring different people profiles, we introduced a language and some tools to help people find new ways to see differences positively and collaborate more effectively.

"The best conference I have ever attended." Frank Rich, former Head, Disney/Paramount Studios.

CASE STUDY 3 - Home Repairs Service

Our client wanted to identify concrete improvements at every step of their customers' journey. By spending time with customers and using our character development tools, we created 6 role play scenarios for delegates to interview and explore better ways of doing things in a One Team service 'offer'.

"A real high point of the conference." Conor O'Connell, MD TMI Ireland.
