BUSINESS SOLUTIONS

Whiteboard Workshops™

DEEP-DIVE PROBLEM SOLVINGHave a technical challenge? Need an innovation boost? Feel stuck on a problem? Does your business strategy need a refresh? DISHER can help! Whiteboard Workshops are customized, collaborative ideation sessions led by certified facilitators to solve unique challenges. Based on the organization's need, a Whiteboard Workshop can range from an hour, a day, to one-week long.

FOUR REMARKABLE SOLUTIONSDISHER offers four types of Workshops based on the problem to be solved.

Whiteboard Wednesday™A Whiteboard Wednesday is a free one-hour brainstorming session with a trained facilitator. These are held at any one of our DISHER locations.

Whiteboard Extreme™A Whiteboard Extreme is designed to tackle more complex challenges facing an organization. They typically last from a half-day to two days in length and incorporate a DISHER team of experts based on the issue at hand.

Strategic Vision Mapping™These sessions help organizations define their business strategy, including their: Why, Way, What, Who, and Where. They typically last from a half-day to two days in length and incorporate a DISHER facilitator/strategist, graphic designer, and industry expert.

Innovation Workshop™DISHER expedites the creative process of product development with these two to three day intensive workshops. Together, we determine the user desirability, production feasibility, and commercial viability of new and existing products and features. DISHER supplies trained facilitators, subject matter experts, and industrial designers. As a team, the group will ideate, rank, expand ideas, and develop playbooks in an efficient and effective way.

PROVEN PROCESSDISHER has a proven process for each workshop that incorporates boosters and boundaries for maximum ideation generation. A unique space has been dedicated entirely to Whiteboard Workshops at DISHER, but we also are prepared to collaborate on-location to meet an organization's needs.
