Solve problems—faster, better

Our training workshops are transformational, fun and very practical and we pride ourselves on our experiential education that supports adoption of the approach.

Our virtual training will equip you and your team with:

• New Tools & Methods for Collaboration—Successful teams can get more from each other and thrive despite complexity and increased demands.
• Enhanced Leadership Skills—New leadership skills require comfort with ambiguity and an ability to be complex-capable in ways the world has never needed before.
• Improved Team Dynamics—Bring your team closer together and achieve better outcomes by developing their human-centred design skill set.
• Confidence to Tackle Problems—An increasingly complex world requires a new skill set and courage to tackle your organization’s toughest problems.

Overlap runs online group/team training and individual sessions to help people adopt human-centred ways of working. As trainers, facilitators, and human-centred designers, we bring a unique approach to your online training. We approach training design by considering the rational and experiential aims—meaning both the learning objectives and content delivery, as well as the participant experience and how people feel throughout the training. This twinned approach plays a key role in the success of every Overlap training, facilitation, webinar, and event.

In-person Training

In-person training gives us the opportunity to immerse participants in practical sessions. We provide a vast toolkit that we use ourselves in our project work so participants are able to use the real methods with supports the next day.

In-person training is currently on hold due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, but If you’re interested, please get in touch to discuss what we can do as we begin to bring back in-person training.
