The Diagnostic Workshop: The sharpest entry point. One to two days. Immediate value.

Most consultancies want you to commit before you’ve experienced how they work. We’d rather prove it first.

The diagnostic workshop is one or two days with your team → a structured capability assessment where you co-discover what’s actually blocking performance. Often that’s integrating AI in the most smart, effective, and systematic way.

But this is not a presentation you sit through. An experience you participate in: Live Brief exercises with real-time turnaround, critique sessions using the evaluation framework, behavioural analysis of your current process.

You’ll leave with two things: a diagnostic report identifying your team’s specific capability gaps and priorities, and the lived experience of a different way of working. The first is a deliverable. The second is the beginning of the education.

This is for you if…

  • You want to experience the methodology before committing to deeper work
  • You know something’s wrong with your team’s output but can’t pinpoint what
  • You need a structured assessment to build the internal case for investment in creative capability
  • You want immediate, actionable insight → not a three-month wait to know if it’s the right thing to do

What happens:

The team works through structured exercises → including at least one Live Brief with a real-time turnaround → followed by a collective debrief using the critique framework. Adam observes, facilitates, and synthesises. Within a week of the workshop, you receive a written diagnostic report with specific priorities and recommended next steps.

As part of every diagnostic, we also audit your team’s current AI usage → what tools they’re using, where they’re underusing them, where they’re misusing them, and where purpose-built AI agents could transform their workflow. This isn’t a separate technology assessment. It’s woven into the capability diagnostic because AI fluency is now a core creative capability, not a nice-to-have.

The person in the discovery call is the person running the workshop. One continuous thread of senior thinking.
