Team Design Labs and Stakeholder Workshops

FCB works with leaders, teams and stakeholders, combining education with hands-on planning, design, problem solving and decision making. We structure the work, facilitate interactions, and accelerate issue resolution. Most important we keep everyone focused on the big picture - ambious goals, design thinking, meaningful commitments.

Design Labs

Process Diagnosis: This workhop jump-starts process diagnosis with a rapid, focused examination of one or more discrete end-end processes. We convene a select group of team members and business representatives to validate the selection of these processes, develop a Heat Map, Charter and Roadmap.

Process Design: This workshop mobilizes a cross-functional group of team members, subject experts and stakeholders to join together in a structured sequence of process design activities. We use Hammer methodology and associated design templates to focus their efforts and accelerate results

Process Portfolio: This workshop introduces a portfolio approach for managing simultaneous projects. We customize activities according to your situation. For example assessing project objectives and activities, designing stage gate reviews and creating portfolio management and oversight.

Past Design Labs have included process-specific workhsops such as Order-to-Cash, Inquiry to Response, Request-to-Repair, Concept-to-Customer and Purchase-to-Pay.

Stakeholder Workshops
