How it works

Workshop Tactics helps you run effective workshops so you can get important work done with your team, and put an end to pointless meetings.

Workshop Tactics is as easy as 1, 2, 3...

Find your starting point

  1. These questions help you find the most useful category of tactics.
  2. Ask the questions with your team or by yourself (you might find some healthy disagreement!)
  3. Use the Strategy System when you aren’t sure where to begin, or if you feel lost in the middle of a project.
“The cards are great for team engagement - they make everyone feel included in the design process.”
Liv MorrisSenior Project Manager, BBC

The right workshop at the right time.

How do you know what workshop to run, and when?

You’ll always choose the right approach with our Workshop Strategy System. A simple set of questions helps you find the most useful category of tactics.

It’s the perfect tool to help you plan your first session when you aren’t sure where to begin, or to get unstuck if you feel lost in the middle of a project.

Clear step-⁠by-⁠step instructions. No jargon.

There are a lot of long-winded and confusing workshop guides out there. You just need the concise steps to run the workshop. Not a wall of text.

Each workshop exercise fits on the back of a card, so you get straight to the point..

The jargon-free instructions are easy to follow, for novices and experts alike.

Get Workshop Tactics

Never get stuck when following up.

You’ve just finished a great workshop and someone asks “so what’s next?”

The answer is on the bottom of each card.

Like a choose-your-own-adventure, it points to the suggested tactics to run before and after - so you never get stuck.

I’ve absolutely loved using Pip Decks to build my new business pitch for potential clients.

William TurnerDirector, Haiku Learning28 April 2023Verified

So, while being ill and frustrated at home, my business ‘sleeping’ while I am getting better, something great happened…

Gyde Balzer CarstensenPATENTsmarter™22 February 2023Verified

I now work in product management for 7 years.

The Workshop Tactics let me know that I always have an ace up my sleeve if I need to navigate the teams that I am working with.

I now started to work with the Storyteller Tactics as well and they helped a lot with some of my presentations.

TimProduct Manager, Smartabase25 November 2022Verified

As Head of L&D I pride myself in being creative and dynamic in all that I do, however I sometimes lack that creativity when under pressure, Pip Decks has enabled me to plan and create inspiring and engaging workshops and sessions with a range of people. I would highly recommend!

Melissa16 November 2022Verified

As a leadership development and communications consultant and coach I’m always found designing and delivering various workshops and programmes with multiple topics for multiple audiences. These decks are an absolute godsend in avoiding any writers or designers blocks, and always, ALWAYS have a solution to bring things to life when you inevitably do get a block. Wish they’d been around in years gone by, but SO glad they’re around now. Tools I’m more than happy to recommend.

Kate HughesFounder, Your Step Coach13 November 2022Verified

I already had the electronic cards, and now that I get the physical cards, I enjoy it even more.

I use the cards to plan internal workshops. It also gives me input for the normal, small meetings, which are now more varied.
