What Sets Breakthrough Solutioning Apart

Unlike Scrum sprints, which are components of much larger Agile initiatives, Breakthrough Solutioning is perfect for organizations engaged in short-term, high-value projects. focused on:

Successfully launching, accelerating or recovering major initiatives 
Driving team collaboration and enhance alignment across the organization 
Quickly isolating and addressing impediments within critical programs 
Delivering quick results cost-effectively

Because Breakthrough Solutioning events are so concentrated, you can achieve results much more quickly than other approaches to problem-solving.

Our three event formats range in length from 2-4 hour discovery sessions to weeks-long rapid launch events, depending on whether you are seeking Clarity, Alignment or Results.

Workshops
for Clarity

Do you simply need to make sure everyone understands an issue facing your company? Try a 2-4 hour Breakthrough Solutioning Workshop for up to 7 people on a pre-determined topic.

Workshop in Action: We helped a wholesale food distribution company better understand how to roll out a new project portfolio management and reporting process.

Discovery Sessions
for Alignment

Do you need to make sure everyone is on board with a new initiative, understands its purpose and what success looks like? In as little as half a day, we can align 7-20 people around your objective.

Discovery Session in Action: We helped a family-owned athletic and tennis club build alignment around their overhauled back-office systems and processes.

Proof of Concept
for Results

Do you have an initiative that has stalled or is not delivering the expected results? We can help deliver breakthrough acceleration of your objectives in a 2-4 week Breakthrough Solutioning Proof of Concept engagement with 1-2 work sessions.

The Technology Behind
Breakthrough Solutioning

Breakthrough Solutioning is perfect for the technology driving today’s hybrid work environment. With 20 years of experience as a remote company, we have deep knowledge of the collaboration platforms needed to engage employees in events from anywhere.

While we prefer Microsoft Teams because of its security and functionality, we can also support teams working in platforms such as Miro, Mural, Session Lab, Zoom, WebEx and others.

In addition, we use video and screen share technologies to emulate face-to-face, in-person experiences for more effective interviews and focus groups. These technologies also provide opportunities for live, in-line collaboration on documents.

Meanwhile, in-line chat enables discussions and the use of side-bars for breakout sessions. In-line whiteboards allow groups to present or confirm concepts, arrange and prioritize ideas, and visually engage participants.

The result is a powerful event that delivers “in-real-life” experiences, build consensus and yield results.
