Live practice for teams

Practice for the work that doesn't come with a playbook.

The tricky conversation, the decision that could go either way, the tool nobody's figured out yet. Rehearse them live, before they're real.

Most teams get one go at the moments that matter.

A new tool everyone has to use, a reorg, a pitch you can't lose. They happen live, with everyone watching, and nobody has done them before.

  • The work keeps changing faster than anyone can write it down.
  • Reading about a hard conversation doesn't prepare you for one. Having it once does.
  • The first time a team makes the hard choice shouldn't be the time it counts.

What practice looks like

Ninety minutes, one situation, your whole team, live.

  1. The situation arrives

    A real situation, with its own people, documents and deadline. The whole team steps in together, live.

  2. You decide, as a team

    Choices on a clock, with real trade-offs. The people in the story react to each one.

  3. It plays out

    You see how each choice plays out, for everyone it touches.

  4. The debrief

    What the team decided, where it split, and what to try next time.
