Moving the Needle Workshops
Clarity. Alignment. Tangible improvement. In just one day.
Why workshops?
Many teams work hard but don’t see the progress they want.
Priorities feel unclear and keep shifting
Collaboration slows down – silos, friction, endless meetings
Legacy systems or technical debt drain energy
New tools or frameworks were introduced… but nothing really changed
A short, focused workshop can reset your team.
In just one day, you get clarity on what’s really blocking progress – and walk away with 3 concrete, realistic improvements to start immediately.
What is a Moving the Needle Workshop?
A practical, interactive one-day workshop that helps your team:
Clearly see where things are stuck – technically, organizationally, and behaviorally.
Decide together on the top priorities that will make the biggest difference.
Agree on concrete changes that can be applied immediately.
No endless theory. No thick reports. Just one day focused on what truly matters.
How it works
1. Quick intake call
We briefly discuss your situation. What’s the most pressing issue?
2. The workshop day
In one day, your team gains insights, focus, and new energy.
We combine approaches from Moving the Needle with Lean OKRs, Agile Fluency, and Extreme Programming.
3. Concrete results
Your team walks away with no more than 3 realistic, high-impact actions ready to implement the next day.
What will you get out of it?
After just one day, your team will have:
Clear insights into the real core problems.
A shared understanding of where to go and how to get there.
Three concrete improvement agreements you can start with immediately.
Renewed energy and ownership.
And if you like, you can add light follow-up sessions (short and online) to make sure the new agreements stick.
Optional: technical or team analysis
Want a bit more depth? We can include a simple pre-workshop or in-workshop analysis:
Teamwork analysis – How does your team actually work, and where is energy being wasted?
Legacy or quality analysis – Where is technical debt causing the most pain, and what can you fix fastest?
We keep it simple and visual, so everyone – even non-technical stakeholders – can understand.
Who is this for?
Technical teams – dealing with aging systems, high pressure, and complex collaboration.
Scale-ups – facing growth, chaos, and an overload of priorities.
Digital product teams – wanting better collaboration, higher quality, and faster delivery.
When should you reach out?
When your team is working harder and harder but achieving less.
When your team is stuck in technical issues or collaboration breakdowns.
When you want visible improvement quickly, without a heavy program.
You don’t need to prepare anything. We always start with a free 20-minute intake call.

I’ve helped large organizations, scale-ups, and technical teams improve behavior, goals, and collaboration for years. Not by adding more frameworks or tools, but by creating small, focused interventions that actually move the needle.
