Outcome

At the end there are clear core messages and a recommendation on how best to communicate them. Let's crack it!

"Learning how to say something in 30 seconds that takes most people five minutes is a huge relief."
Sam Altman

Topics of our previousexplanatory workshops:

ESG for employees
Restructuring
Company pension scheme
AI in the workplace
5G technology
Equality
CO2 reduction
Repositioning

Cracking complexity, getting to the core issue.

We are living in times of information overload: The flood of information means that important but more complex topics are becoming less and less noticeable.

An additional problem: project teams that are deeply involved in their topic often can no longer see the "wood for the trees". Only an outside perspective and input can help here .

Our workshops can help you to filter out the most relevant facts about your topic and use them to develop precise explanation and communication strategies.

Your questions? Let's crack them directly ...

Who are the workshops suitable for?

Our workshops are aimed at companies, teams and managers, both internal and external:

  • need to communicate complex topics clearly
  • want to address their target group in a targeted and understandable way
  • want to bring structure and clarity to their content

What topics are the workshops suitable for?

There are actually hardly any limits here - but very often our workshops/projects turn around:

  • Change management (restructuring, introduction of new processes)
  • Learning (new software, technologies and tools)
  • Launch (introduction of new products/services)

How many people can take part?

The smaller the group, the more effective the work can be. We therefore offer the workshops for a maximum of up to 4 participants.

Who is holding the workshop?

nutcracker founder and creative director Klaus Schwope is personally available for the workshop. A graphic recorder can optionally be used to visualize initial ideas and processes during the workshop.

Where and how does the workshop take place?

Peanut and Walnut can take place via teams. For Coconut, with a larger project scope and more complex topics, the workshop takes place on-site at your premises or at our agency.

Does a video have to be commissioned for a workshop?

No, our workshops can be booked as individual services. The workshop can then optionally be followed by the development of an explanatory asset - this can be an infographic, an explanatory image or an explanatory video, for example.
