whirrkit workshops
Get more minds whirring around your business challenges
Most small businesses aren’t short of good thinking.
They’re short of right conditions and practical tools to hear it.
As a business leader, you don't have the luxury of calling in a consultant every time you hit a tricky problem, or spot an opportunity you're not sure how to land.
There's no innovation team waiting in the wings.
Just you, a full plate, and a problem that keeps going round in circles, or getting filed under "tomorrow".
Here's the thing: the answer is probably already in the room. whirrkits can help you find it.
Workshop Overview
A practical session where your team takes a real challenge, looks at it from angles you wouldn't normally take, and leaves with tools to keep doing that.
Bring a real challenge - Think about it differently - Leave with tools to keep thinking differently.
Get clear on the challenge, question or opportunity that you’ve had going around for too long.
01/ DEFINE CHALLENGE
Use practical thinking tools to challenge assumptions, explore possibilities, build on sparks, and bring different perspectives into the room.
02/ THINK DIFFERENTLY
Capture what has potential, work out what happens next and take the tools with you.
03/ KEEP MOMENTUM
Format
Ranging from a couple of hours to a full day depending on your needs.
Group
We suggest a team of 6 is great for gathering different perspectives. (Not at that stage yet? Maybe a Thinking Partner is what you need)
Who it's for
Whirrkit is specifically designed to work with people from all different roles and levels. We actively invite you to bring people who don’t normally contribute to ideas.
Before
A 30–45 minute conversation with someone who knows the business so we can understand your challenge.
After
A debrief with the leader + chat about next steps. A handy Whirrkit toolkit for all participants.
Price will be tailored to the format, preparation and challenge.
Whirrkits are designed to help small businesses think better, together.
They help teams to learn tools to tackle real business challenges - whether that’s developing a new product or service, understanding new audiences, working better as a team, or figuring out what to do when the obvious answer isn’t showing up.
How they work
You’ll leave with
Fresh Perspectives on your business challenge or opportunity you’ve been stuck on
Practical tools you and your team can use again and again
More confidence to question the obvious and explore different possibilities
A shared way of thinking that gets more in the business engaged in your future
The goal isn't to leave with all the answers.
It's to leave with better ways to find them.

I like that you never told me what to do, but rather encouraged me to form my own conclusions

Other ways you can work with us
Maybe you don’t have a big enough team yet — or can’t spare their time for a full whirrkit. Or perhaps you need a thinking brain alongside you for longer:
