Workshop catalysis
Problem
Cross-functional
teamwork is becoming increasingly central to daily business operations.
However, the results do not seem to meet expectations. As a result, workshops
are perceived as unproductive and a waste of time. Ultimately, ineffective
electronic communication and poor workshop management result in lost working
time.

Solution
Introduction
of workshop management, consisting of a workshop model (including topic focus,
participant management, workshop schedule (from preliminary discussion to
preparation and implementation to follow-up), and definition of prerequisites. Workshop
catalysis is scalable:
- Pure
- Plus, and
- Max
Ensure that temporary ‚shop-floors’ do not become more and more experienced ‘Sit-Ins’. Workshop catalysis leads to new results and adapts the working group's speed to the requirements. The active organization of workshops yields positive outcomes.
Choose one from three approaches:
It is often overlooked that the majority of expenditure represents organization, infrastructure, or support costs. The most significant workshop expenditure is attributed to the presence, preparation time, and diversion of participants.
The elements that make a workshop successful are the consideration of prerequisites, preparation of topics, consideration of participant interests, the workshop procedure, and the actual workshop organization (i.e., invitations, rooms, materials, etc.).
Only through stringent preparation can workshops achieve maximum efficiency and thus justify the allocated resources. Effective workshop management, from preparation to facilitation and post-production, is known as workshop catalysis.
Memecon® offers three standard services, which are built upon one another. Workshop catalysis can be applied in any organizational form, including business enterprises, nonprofit organizations, and public administration.
Workshop pure
The simplest version consists of facilitation and support during the preparation process. The agenda is structured in a way that allows the defined goals to be achieved.
Short description:
- Facilitating workshops.
- Aspects include prerequisites, topic, participants, and process.
Workshop plus
The workshop also covers the development of content and workshop components. Contents can include, for example, presentations, trainings, or similar materials. Workshop components are plenum and breakout activities, which are individually developed to produce defined results.

Short description:
- Development and facilitation of workshops.
- Customized content, e.g., topic presentations, training.
- Aspects include prerequisites, topic, participants, and process.
Workshop max
Workshop Max is the most comprehensive version. Additionally, it involves workshop development, evaluation, and action planning. The entire workshop is designed in coordination with the client. After the conclusion of the workshop, the results are evaluated and prepared, and eventually, measures are defined.

Short description:
- Development, moderation, and documentation of workshops.
- Custom workshop layout
- Documentation and evaluation

Workshop catalysis increases productivity through result-oriented preparation, facilitation, and documentation.
