Team Potential Workshop
Welcome to the age of ambiguity.
Many companies and people still live in the good old days. A time when everything was clear. When 5-year plans worked. When it was clear who was a competitor and who was a partner. Economic success was achieved by producing the same quality at market prices. That time is over. We are in a turning point that is calling many previous certainties and habits into question. Business models, hierarchies, career paths, collaboration and the demand for products and services are changing at a rapid pace. Welcome to the age of ambiguity.
Courage for new solutions.
The challenge: Many people find it difficult to let go of what they are used to and to embrace the unknown. Combined with the urgent need to find new solutions, the uncertainty of new situations triggers fear in many people, which blocks existing creative potential and prevents effective new solutions. Denial of the need for change, stagnation, aimless actionism or a lack of decisiveness are signs of this fear.
Learn to leverage uncertainty in complex times.
Step 1
The first step is to disempower the fear of uncertainty by giving it a name: ambiguity . Ambiguity describes the field of tension in which problems are tricky, solutions are blurred, and trends and information are contradictory.
Step 2
Therefore, the second step is to switch from defensive to active design mode. Working in ambiguity requires continuous, rapid and low-risk learning, experimentation and testing. With our CoCreACT® approach, we increase the imagination for effective solutions that open up new potential.
Innovation is only possible in ambiguity.
Ambiguity will not diminish. We cannot change that. What we CAN change is our reaction, how we deal with it and how we use it. Innovation is only possible in ambiguity. Nobody creates something new without courage and risk. With confidence and trust, we see uncertainty as potential instead of missing the opportunity. And we show you how to navigate it.
Become an #AmbiguityActivist with us.
For us, ambiguity is the uncertainty of possibilities. Uncertainty is scope for creativity.
The CoCreACT® method
CO
We believe in collaborative work because we believe in collective wisdom: shared knowledge is more than the sum of individual ideas. The 100% participation of all team members allows for a deeper understanding that produces previously unknown insights.
CRE
Everyone is creative. Creativity is not the talent of an individual, but a process that everyone can shape and learn. And the more playful the methods, the more imaginative and surprising the results.
ACT
The intensive connection between hand and brain increases the imagination for unique and innovative solutions. That’s why we prototype. We also make abstract concepts of brands, business models and strategies visible and tangible through prototyping. They can now be systematically processed and further developed together.
Our CoCreACT® training concept
With CoCreAct® we have developed a training concept that combines the best of various creative processes, such as design thinking, creative problem solving or the lean start-up approach. With CroCreAct® you will learn creative methods to test solutions in concrete experiments. We will help you to anchor your new creative potential and would like to support you in implementing your visions and ideas directly.
A creative process does not end with an idea. CoCreACT® effectively tackles every worthwhile challenge and starts its validation and implementation directly.
Ambiguity, complexity and uncertainty are our creative potential that needs to be discovered. That’s why we start the CoCreACT® training on the first day with an “Ambiguity Bootcamp” in order to proceed in a structured manner even in uncertain times.

CoCreACT® Facilitator Training
On the second day of the CoCreACT® Facilitator Training, you will learn the Swiss Army knife of co-creative processes: the CoCreACT® process, in whose four phases you will transform any complicated or complex situation into exciting challenges. We will show you what it takes to increase the imagination in the team to come up with effective ideas that can then be effectively tested in experiments. You will learn this hands-on using real challenges from the group of participants. You will get to know yourself better, what strengths, preferences and blind spots you have when designing something new.
On the third day, it’s time to apply what you’ve learned yourself. You’ll take turns moderating phases of the CoCreACT® process and discovering yourself in your new role. In debriefings, we’ll learn the last practical details needed for successful CoCreACT® expertise.

What you will take away as a facilitator

CoCreACT® as a perfect complement to LEGO® Serious Play®
Lego® Serious Play® is a highly visual and haptic method for developing strategies and optimizing collaboration in teams. CoCreAct® now forms the foundation for creative and innovation processes and is widely applicable.
CoCreAct® is a highly effective training that increases your ability to systematically develop and implement new solutions for new challenges in uncertain situations. It teaches basic concepts and methods to tackle the real problems, to increase your imagination alone or in groups and thus effectively drive the development of new ideas. You learn to identify your personal comfort zone in the creative process and to make your own work more effective by learning to move out of your own comfort zone to a healthy extent.
You can complete the training before the Lego® Serious Play® Certified Facilitator but also as an additional supplement after the LEGO® Serious Play® training.
