“Workshop Tactics is the first thing I reach for when presented with a design problem and the path to a solution is always in there. I can't live without them.”

Tom Newton
Head of Design, eBay Classifieds

Most meetings suck.

How often have you planned a meeting with the best intentions but when the meeting starts, the loudest voice in the room takes over and nothing gets done? Nobody wants to listen.

Or maybe you went into a meeting full of enthusiasm but it was quickly drained away by blank stares and awkward silence. Nobody wants to take part.

Here’s the hard truth: we’re never going to get away from meetings.

So how do you make them useful, productive and dare I suggest...fun.

Run workshops instead – they’re like meetings but stuff actually gets done.

But how do you run a workshop?

Introducing: Workshop Tactics.

Inside you’ll find everything you need run short and effective workshops that people love. Across 54 frameworks, prompts and exercises you’ll learn how to run workshops that generate fresh ideas, solve problems creatively and get your team or client on the same page.

How does Workshop Tactics work?

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

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.

You need the concise steps to run the workshop - not someone’s life story.

Each workshop exercise fits on the back of a card, so you can get started in minutes.

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

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.

“If you’re a team lead who wants empower your team, getting a pack of Workshop Tactics might just be the best thing you do.”

Planning workshops doesn’t need to take hours.

Preparing for workshops can be the hardest part of the process. What sort of workshop is best? How long should it take? How many people need to take part?

That's why Stephen, CMO of BombBomb chooses Pip Decks over his entire library of books:

“Workshop Tactics tells you exactly what to do. It removes all the fluff. I follow the steps on the back of the card...it literally couldn‘t get any easier!”

Find new ways to tackle problems.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

With Workshop Tactics, you’ll have an arsenal of inspiration to reach new solutions for any kind of problem.

Matthew is a Leadership Consultant & Executive Coach for brands around the world. He is constantly on the lookout for new ways to tackle issues:

“Every time I reach into the decks, I always know I'm going to get something useful and makes a difference.”

Loved by beginners and pros alike.

You might be thinking “I already know how to facilitate great meetings - do I really need Workshop Tactics?”

Leadership coach, Danette, would say yes!

”I thought I'd already know everything in the decks. But I was delighted when I flicked through the cards and found myself getting inspired for my next workshop!"

Why is Workshop Tactics a deck of cards?

Books and courses can be useful to learn new skills.

But they’re filled with stuff you don’t need.

Amongst the introductions, anecdotes and elaborations - you may come away with a couple of key insights. You could say the ipm (insights per minute) of a book or course is somewhere between 0.1 - 0.0001.

But with Pip Decks, and how we’ve distilled everything down to the essentials. The ipm is 1.

When you pick up a Pip Deck, you are almost immediately brimming with ideas and enthusiasm for how you can put this new knowledge into practice. 

It took Charles (author of Workshop Tactics) years to learn the skills that make him a celebrated facilitator and leader. It took him months to turn them into practical tactics. It will take you minutes to read each card and start applying the insights.
