Recently I co-presented a 2 hour workshop at the Institute of Risk Managers Conference at Keele University. At first sight, it seems an unusual place for RSVP Design to be speaking but the reality is that Risk Managers are typical of many professional groups who desperately need the kind of support that we can offer to help them to achieve their organisational goals. Working with a client colleague from TNT, we introduced the Risk Managers to a Facilitation Skills workshop which we developed to help TNT to improve the quality of their Risk Assessments and Risk Workshops. Using practical, facilitated activity we demonstrated how some basic understanding of adult learning, group management, facilitation and decision-making techniques can significantly improve participant engagement and the quality of discussion.

TNT have had great success using our Voyage Mapping activity as a key element within their newly designed workshops – they’ve ordered multiple sets and plan to take it round the world as a simple, visual tool to get people talking and thinking together and to encourage a culture in which people are better educated about the Risk Management process. There are more details about Voyage Mapping, describing other uses, on the RSVP Design website. Simply enter Voyage Mapping in product search to get as enthusiastic about it as TNT have done!
