THE EXECUTION LAB

Turn plans into progress, with ease

2-day hands-on, hackathon-style workshop for teams that know what they need to do but struggle to get it done efficiently.

In the Execution Lab you'll co-design and build execution systems to reduce friction, improve delivery flow, and fast-track your way to a testable prototype.

You know what needs to be done.

The strategy is clear. The goals are set. Everyone’s nodding in meetings.

And yet...

Execution lags. Handoffs drop. Progress crawls.

The problem isn’t your people. It’s the systems (or lack of them).

The Execution Lab is a hands-on, high-energy workshop run over 2 consecutive days designed to help teams design, prototype, and test new ways of working (and executing!) together.


There is a little bit of theory but mostly this is a get-it-done-in-the-room kind of workshop.

Over two days, we'll close the knowing-doing gap and work together to...

  • Map How Work Really Happens - Unpack your team’s current workflows, handoffs, and decision patterns. Surface friction points and flow blockers—together.

  • Frame the Right Problems - Zoom in on the most critical breakdowns in execution. Prioritise which systems, rituals, or processes need a redesign.

  • Generate Smarter Solutions - Use rapid co-design techniques to sketch and shape new ways of working, including better workflows, tools, templates, and rhythms.

  • Make Bold Decisions, Fast - Narrow down your ideas to the strongest contenders. Align on what to build and test right away without endless debates and discussion traps.

  • Prototype Real Execution Tools - Create simple, scrappy, testable versions of your new systems, ready for immediate use in your team’s context.

  • Test, Refine & Commit - Pressure-test your prototypes in the room. Capture what works, tweak what doesn’t, and leave with a clear plan to embed them.

The Execution Lab is personalised to the needs of your team and organisation, but due to the unique nature of this workshop it requires at least 2 consecutive days.


In person works best, but it can absolutely be run in a hybrid or fully-virtual format, if your team is remote or distributed across different locations.

The Execution Lab blends the best of design thinking, human-centred design, agile delivery, systems thinking, and generative AI into one fast-paced, practical workshop designed to tackle a problem most teams quietly suffer but rarely confront head on:

poor execution flow.

By combining proven tools with hands-on facilitation, this workshop gives your team the space, structure, and support to redesign how work actually gets done and delivered together.

It’s not theory. It’s not training. It’s real problems, solved in real time, using the most credible and impactful methods out there.

You'll walk out of the Execution Lab with...

  • A shared understanding of what’s really slowing execution

  • A mapped view of your current delivery flow, and a better one to work with

  • Co-designed execution tools, rituals, and check-in systems

  • Prototypes you’ve already tested and refined

  • Clear ownership, roles, and next steps

  • A team that feels capable, confident, and in sync

HOW CAN TWO DAYS WITH MY TEAM REALLY ACCOMPLISH ALL THIS?

People support what they help build. When your team co-designs the execution systems they’ll be using, they don’t need to be “sold” on new ways of working.

They’ve already bought in.

The Execution Lab doesn’t just fix broken processes. This is not a process improvement workshop.

In the lab, you'll keep what's working and co-design and build new tools, processes and systems - right there in the room, with your people - that meaningfully help you execute better.

And it does it fast.

Two days. One sprint. Real traction, built on a foundation of over 15 years experience helping teams co-design better ways of working.

Also included as a standard part of your engagement:

  • Brief 15-minute conversations with your program leaders and team members (as required) prior to the workshop

  • 2 x 45-minute conversations with you (the project or program manager) prior to the workshop to ensure we're accelerating together in a way that is both comfortable and effective

  • 2 x 45-minute coaching sessions with you (the project or program manager) after the workshop to support follow-through and implementation

Want even more support?

If you feel your program team needs more than just the Execution Lab itself, then the full 3-month Program Reboot engagement, including a structured training and coaching curriculum, may be a better fit.

The 3-month Program Reboot engagement provides sustained alignment, execution strategies, and systems to ensure progress lasts. It includes all the value of the Program Reboot and Alignment Accelerator workshops, and the Execution Lab. If you want to discuss this, get in touch below.
