Workshop Manager

Workshops that do not end in a photo protocol.

A workshop here is a step definition, not a slide deck. The engine guides through topics and exercises, participants join by QR code and get taken along. Results emerge digitally and leave the room as a plan.

Where it breaks down

The workshop was good. Two weeks later nothing has happened.

Not because the content was wrong, but because the result left the room in a form nobody can work with.

01

Results on flip charts

Photographed, retyped, poured into a presentation and then filed. Between the moment in the room and the document, part of the substance goes missing.

02

The loud ones shape the outcome

Whoever speaks first sets the frame. Whoever votes first pulls the others along. Quiet participants often never contribute at all.

03

Afterwards commitment is missing

Without names, first steps and a metric, a good day stays a good day. Implementation then begins with finding another meeting slot.

The solution

Workshops are data, not slides.

Every workshop is described as a sequence of steps. An engine renders the surface from it, guides through and captures everything that emerges along the way.

The step types cover what actually happens in a workshop: convey content, work through checklists, bound time, collect points, rate by effort and benefit, prioritise, cluster cards, vote and finally summarise. Every type is a practised exercise, not an empty canvas.

Participants join once by QR code and are then taken through the steps automatically. Their contributions flow in at the right place without anyone retyping. Sorting deliberately stays with the facilitator, so participation does not turn into chaos.

Two mechanics work against known group effects. Voting results are only revealed when the facilitator clicks, so nobody votes after the majority. And input fields are briefly locked while being edited, so two people do not overwrite each other.

In practice

Moments that carry the day.

A workshop stands or falls on a few moments. These six decide whether a result stands at the end of the day or just a good feeling.

The matrix emerges in front of everyone

Collected points are rated by effort and benefit, and the result appears live as a four-quadrant picture. The discussion turns immediately to the placement rather than the method.

Voting without the herd effect

Everyone casts their vote and initially sees only their own. Only when the facilitator reveals do the average and the spread appear. What gets discussed afterwards is more honest.

When the room goes quiet

One click produces three prompts, fitting the step and what has been collected so far. Not as a result but as a starting aid. Clicking one takes it in as an entry, the rest disappear.

Speech becomes an entry

Whoever facilitates cannot type at the same time. A voice note gets taken in as structure, five minutes of discussion become eight clean bullet points. That keeps the pace in the room.

Time in view, without time pressure

Every exercise has its timer, the header shows either the clock or the total elapsed time, and the journey overview says at any moment where the day stands. Overrunning becomes visible while you can still steer.

At the end stands a plan

Owners by name, first steps, metrics and an agreed rhythm. As a PDF in the inbox before the room is cleared.

How it works

Set up, join, work through, hand over.

01

Set up

The sequence is described as a series of steps, with times, exercises and breaks. Existing formats can be reused.

02

Join

Participants scan the code in the header and are in. No installation, no account, on any device.

03

Work through

The group is guided through the steps. Contributions come in live, sorting stays with the facilitator.

04

Hand over

Summary, owners, first steps and metrics. Export as PDF and as structured data.

Let us bring one of your existing workshops into this form and run it through once.

Core capabilities

What the module brings.

Step types for every exercise

Content, checklist, timer, collecting, rating, prioritising, measurability, card clusters, voting, breaks and summary.

Live participation by QR code

Join once, then everyone is taken through the steps automatically. No installation and no account.

Effort and benefit matrix

Ratings produce a live four-quadrant picture. The placement becomes visible rather than asserted.

Reveal on click

Average and spread appear only when the facilitator releases them. That stops the group voting after itself.

Voice note to bullet points

Dictation is taken in as structure by AI. For facilitators who cannot type at the same time, and for rounds where the pace must not break.

AI prompts on demand

Prompts exactly when a round stalls, fitting the step and what has been collected. On call rather than always running, clickable as an entry. The model is selectable per section so pace and depth fit the exercise.

Thoughts with rating

Thoughts can be added and rated with one vote per person. The counter runs live for everyone.

Co-branding

Every workshop carries the client logo alongside your own. If it is missing, the name appears as text.

Prioritising by dragging

Order, owners and first steps emerge by sorting rather than by arguing over list positions.

Time in view

A timer per exercise, a switchable display between clock and total elapsed time, breaks as their own step. Plus the journey overview of the day with time slots, where every node can be jumped to.

Full screen mode

For projectors and large displays. The surface uses the full space without anyone fiddling with the browser.

Export as PDF and data

Everything that emerged leaves the room in a form you can keep working with.

Where it works

Six roles, six measurable outcomes.

Consulting

A reusable format instead of a new slide deck per client. The follow-up work largely disappears, because the result is already digital.

Internal transformation

Participation becomes commitment. Names, first steps and metrics are fixed at the end of the day, not in the next meeting.

People development

Quiet participants contribute too, because contributing does not run through speaking up in the room. That changes whose ideas make it into the result.

Culture and enablement

Participation becomes tangible rather than claimed. Anyone who finds their own card in the result carries the decision afterwards. That is exactly where change initiatives otherwise fail.

Competence development

Knowledge is not presented, it is worked out. Interactive formats with rating, voting and one’s own contribution demonstrably stick better than a lecture.

Leadership groups

A format where nobody drifts off. Anyone who has to contribute, rate or reveal something every three minutes stays in the topic. That sounds trivial and decides the yield of a whole day.

A look inside

Two views, two roles, one result.

On the left the facilitator sees the room, on the right a participant sees their device. Both work on the same step, but they deliberately do not see the same thing. The tabs are switchable.

The same step on your own device

You join once by QR code, after which the view follows the facilitator automatically. Input is possible only where it is intended.

Abstracted representation with invented content. Which steps, rights and reveal rules apply in your format is something we define together.

Where it sits

Enablement is not a side stage.

AI only creates value where people take it up. The Workshop Manager sits in the Culture impact area and adds to the planned Invitation Manager the part that makes the difference: running the session.

Culture
Enable people, do not replace them.
Agents
Automate processes, create room to work.
Knowledge
Secure experience and make it usable.
Content
Scale communication, on brand and on quality.
Modules around it
Invitation ManagerCaptures the need beforehand
Corporate MemoryTakes up the results
Onboarding & TrainingContinues the enablement

The results of a workshop are valuable company knowledge in themselves. As a structured export they can be taken into Corporate Memory and stay retrievable with a source even years later.

Operation and data sovereignty

What is said in the room stays in the room.

Workshops produce candid assessments of processes, collaboration and leadership. Where that data lives is your decision.

Cloud

Operated in European data centres, with monitoring and updates during live operation. The fastest route to the first session.

Hybrid

Sensible when participants join from outside while the results stay in your own network.

On-premise

Entirely in your own network, on the Local AI Server if you wish. The prompts then run locally too.

One quote says more than many promises
“The difference was not the tool, it was that at the end of the day a plan with names on it existed. For the first time we followed up after four weeks and did not have to reconstruct anything.”

Prompt tokens

The quota for everything AI does in a workshop: prompts on demand, structuring voice notes, the overall view at the close. Input and output are counted together. A typical day-long workshop with 15 people uses 40,000 to 120,000 tokens depending on the model chosen.

Participants

The figure refers to simultaneous use in one session, not to the year. Running four sessions a year with 80 people needs no larger package than weekly rounds of eight.

Custom step types

The existing types cover the usual exercises. If a format needs something of its own, we build the type in the Pro package. Effort from €2,400 per type, after which it is permanently available.

Operation includes maintenance, updates and the token quota above. Unused tokens expire at the end of the month. Additional usage costs €9 per further 100,000 tokens, alternatively a cheaper model can be set per section. Server and hosting costs are billed separately.

* Guide values. Volumes and prices are adapted to your actual needs in the quotation, because the number of formats, the group size and the intensity of AI usage drive the effort.

All prices are net, plus statutory VAT.

Frequent questions

What decision makers ask first.

Do participants need an account or an app?

No. A code in the header gets scanned and the browser is enough. After that the view follows the step the facilitator is showing automatically. Anyone who wants to can browse freely and jump back to the current step with one click.

Does it work without a stable network on site?

The facilitator view needs a connection, because results are stored centrally. If the network drops for participants, you carry on facilitating and capture yourself. For sessions in critical environments we recommend a mobile connection as a fallback.

Can we map our own formats?

Yes, that is the normal case. A workshop is a sequence built from existing types, so an existing agenda can usually be mapped one to one. If an exercise needs a type that does not exist yet, we add it in the Pro package.

What happens to the results after the session?

They stay stored in the session and can be exported as a PDF and as structured data. On request they flow into Corporate Memory so they remain findable with a source years later.

The first step

Your format. A trial run. An honest assessment.

We translate one of your existing workshops into a step definition and run it through with you. After that you judge whether the result at the end of the day looks better than before.
