A thoughtful plan lays the foundation for successful innovation work with participants in a workshop. Such a plan can be easily and thoroughly grasped and implemented with the 7 Ps framework.
Basically, this method is an open checklist that helps you to identify the factors for a targeted and successful workshop and to consider the effects of the individual aspects on each other already during planning and to incorporate them into the plan.
The seven “Ps” make up the checklist items: Purpose, Product, People, Process, Pitfalls, Prep and Partial Concerns.
The 7-Ps-Framework is an effective method with which you can successfully plan, prepare and design a goal-oriented workshop. A well thought-out plan is the basic prerequisite for managing the workshop in a results-oriented manner. Using a checklist, you identify all the basic factors and take the most important aspects into account as early as the planning phase.
The seven “Ps” of Purpose, Products, People, Process, Pitfalls, Preparation, and Practical Concerns form the foundation of your planning and the framework of your checklist. With the framework of the business consultant James Macanufo you already ask the right questions in the preparation phase to formulate the necessary plan in a structured way for your meeting.
Detailed planning does not guarantee that your workshop will be successful, but it does create the best conditions. The 7-Ps framework explicitly does not exclude agile processes during the creative processes, so the original plan can and may be varied and changed. The method promotes focus, concentration on the essentials, and a smooth process. And don’t worry: you can design the planning in detail, but also do it quickly in a few minutes.
Agile methods live extraordinarily from the exchange of their protagonists. The 7-Ps framework is used for efficient communication for successful management.
