The Collabor-a-thon: tackling big challenges in change

Recently, we hosted The Collabor-a-thon – a dynamic brainstorming exercise in small groups, designed to generate and prioritise solutions to tackle big change challenges.

One piece of feedback captured the essence of the event:

“The process felt engaging, with the group ideas being greater than what individuals would have come up with alone.”

It was a powerful reminder of how collaboration unlocks new possibilities and creates greater impact.

The best solutions often emerge when we bring diverse perspectives together. And co-creation builds support for change. The magic lies in sharing insights, conversations, and a willingness to lean into collaboration – all in a time boxed way to get to answers quickly.

Try this in your organisation: gather a diverse group with a clear problem to solve, in a time boxed way, gather insights about the challenge, generate options, and prioritise actions based on impact and effort/cost, and watch as fresh ideas and actionable strategies emerge.

We’d love to share a copy of a problem solving canvas and instructions to help you to do this, please get in touch.
