As executive leaders who worked primarily with other executive leaders, we know first-hand the challenges of ineffective meetings. Quite honestly, meetings suck!
One day, after yet another ineffective meeting where tensions where high, nothing was truly discussed or achieved, and people left thinking "why was I even there" we threw our hands up and said: enough is enough!
As experienced and passionate process improvement, design thinking, and facilitation experts, we got together to brainstorm how to improve the conversations leaders were having (or not having) to help them move away from swirling around topics and band aiding problems. That is when we realized that for years people have been trained to focused on designing everything else in our lives to make things easier, yet we have never been taught how to have effective and productive collaborative conversations.
Flooded with requests for facilitated design sessions, we focused on creating a conversational design tool that was intuitive & flexible and requires minimal training. After 6 year of prototyping, redesigning, and testing with 1000+ users, we created our CONVO framework. CONVO is the go-to solution for leaders who need to work effectively with diverse personalities and stakeholders to achieve their goals.
But its impact didn't stop there. Without knowing it, our framework started to transform leaders, cultures, and organizations by scaffolding vulnerability, developing safe environments for sharing & collaborating, and activating creativity to solve wicked problems.
