Helping teams think better, together.
Facilitated workshops are a powerful way to engage teams, build momentum and work through complex challenges. Whether you’re shaping strategy, designing services, exploring new ideas or responding to emerging opportunities like AI, we help you get the right people in the room and the right conversations flowing.
At Maine Associates, we design and deliver workshops that create space for collaboration, curiosity and better thinking — guiding teams to make decisions, generate ideas and co-create solutions that move things forward.
What we offer
We design and facilitate workshops that support a range of purposes and challenges, including:
- Strategic planning and direction-setting
- Service design and innovation
- Opportunity exploration (including the role of AI and other emerging technologies)
- Team alignment and decision-making
- Partnership development and collaboration
- Programme design and delivery planning
Each session is tailored to your context, objectives and audience – with formats ranging from short sprints and working groups to full-day offsites and multi-session programmes.
How we work
We bring structured thinking, engaging facilitation and flexible design to every session. Our role is to create the conditions for honest dialogue, creative problem-solving and collective progress — without dominating the room or steering outcomes.
Our workshops often include tools such as:
- Visual canvases and frameworks
- Peer learning and breakout discussions
- Real-time feedback and prioritisation exercises
- Digital collaboration tools and AI-supported exploration techniques
We also offer pre- and post-workshop support to ensure sessions are well-prepared, insight-led and result in clear actions.
When to work with us
You might bring us in to:
- Design and run a leadership workshop exploring the implications of AI in your organisation
- Facilitate a strategy day that challenges assumptions and surfaces bold ideas
- Guide a cross-functional team through a service redesign or innovation sprint
- Run a collaborative planning session with external stakeholders and delivery partners
Whatever the format, we help you create a workshop experience that is focused, engaging and productive — with just the right amount of structure, challenge and dare we say it, a little fun too.
Why choose us?
With extensive experience in workshop design and facilitation, we bring structure, creativity, and adaptability to every session. We understand group dynamics and ensure that every voice is heard, resulting in productive and inclusive workshops.
