Why small
Every STILLPOINT workshop is designed for a specific team and a specific question. We interview participants beforehand, keep groups between two and twelve people, and finish with a written record of what was decided and who owns it.
Each format is a starting point. The agenda is always rebuilt around your team.
01
A full day built around the three decisions your team most needs to make together. Pre-session interviews shape the agenda, so the day starts with what is actually contested rather than what is comfortable.
02
A half-day, small-group session of structured rehearsal. Participants bring a real conversation they are avoiding, and leave with an opening sentence, a plan and the experience of having said it out loud once already.
03
Two days, usually off-site, to revisit how decisions get made, who owns what, and what each founder needs from the others now that the company is no longer what it was at the start.
04
A focused session to shape the change narrative (known, not yet known, next) and rehearse the announcement and the questions that will follow it, before anyone outside the room hears it.
Anatomy of a day
A typical rhythm. Timings flex; the sequence rarely does: surface, weigh, decide, rehearse.
Coffee, no slides. A short check-in on what each person needs from the day.
Anonymous inputs from the interviews, read aloud. Where are we actually disagreeing?
Options and trade-offs, made explicit. What does each choice cost, and who carries it?
Commitments with names and dates. What we’re choosing not to do is written down too.
How each decision will be explained to the people who weren’t in the room.
The room matters
We help choose a space that supports the conversation: natural light, room to move, walls to write on and no podium. We can run sessions at your offices or recommend a neutral venue.
The workshop day is the visible part. Most of the value is created on either side of it.
Twenty minutes with each participant, confidentially, to find the questions the agenda needs to hold.
A clear structure, firm timekeeping and space for disagreement, with decisions captured as they happen.
A one-page record within two working days and a thirty-day session to check which decisions held.
