What we Do Best

Bespoke solutions are the cornerstone of our business.

Specialties

Bespoke Solutions for People & Culture Topics

Companies that invest in employee experience are more successful because when people feel valued and are engaged, they are more productive which directly links to growth and profits. Whether you are looking to increase engagement, improve retention, or revamp processes with best practices, we work with you to create a custom solution. 

By working with us, your team will have a solution that everyone accepts and is committed to making it happen. Our on-site work can take anywhere from an afternoon to a week depending on the nature of the problem and the number of team members involved.

Z

The right approach for the best solution

Using a variety of tactics from focus groups with your people, to facilitated workshops, to industry research, we make sure that the solution we provide solves your problem.

THE ENTIRE EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE LIFECYCLE

Our expertise covers all people & culture processes – from when talent are an eager potential candidate to when they are a referral generating alumni. 

custom solutions every time

Unlike other consulting firms who think their approach works for all organizations regardless of size or industry, or ones who recycle solutions, we know that simply doesn’t produce results in the real world.  That is why our solutions are 100% bespoke for every client.

l

easy implementation

Our reports and recommendations are actionable and easy to execute because they are custom to your organization and the resources you have available. We offer additional support through implementation when necessary. 

TOOLS

Using the LEGO Serious Play Methodology

LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® can be used to solve tough complex business problems where there is no obvious answer. By having all members of the team contribute equally innovative, creative, and unique solutions are discovered.

When appropriate, we use the LSP methodology to help teams solve problems. To learn more about LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®, visit the official LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® site.

A "LEAN IN" MEETING

A LSP facilitated meeting is a more effective meeting for everyone involved. Each person must participate and shares their story meaning that no one person can dominate the conversation.

Untap Team Knowledge

Leaders don’t have all of the answers and people want to contribute to solving complex problems. Allowing everyone to contribute is more sustainable and use of LSP untaps the team’s knowledge.

SOLVE COMPLEX & MULTIFACETED PROBLEMS

Most major business problems have no definite right or wrong answer. LSP provides a method that breaks habitual thinking when the team needs to understand the big picture and explore potential solutions.

FASTER & BETTER DECISIONS

When the facilitated meeting is over, the team will have made a decision that everyone commits to because they will have felt heard and involved in making the decision.

Team building

The Values Incubator

Whether your team is suffering from disengagement, struggling to work together or you are looking to strengthen team bonds, the Values Incubator offers a team building experience with clear returns.

Strong actionable values cannot be decided by one or two people or by executive order. The more diverse voices involved the more unique and unexpected the outcome will be. By having your team determine what their shared values are together, team members feel empowered and engaged, and the values are more likely to be implemented and affect behavioural change.

Change & Improve your Culture

A shared set of core values gives your team a basis on which to judge their behaviour as well as the behaviour of their peers. Defined values give criteria by which to evaluate business decisions and processes. As a leader, you will receive a customized action plan for your team based on their shared values so that you can implement those values and initiate change.

Get the Whole TEam Involved

You do not need to be an actor or comedian to benefit from this workshop. The workshop calls for equal participation from all team members. The team develops communication skills that make for more effective business relationships.

THE IMPORTANCE OF VALUES

Having a set of shared values that the whole team participated in defining makes it easier to grow an inclusive and positive corporate culture. Strong core values help make strategic decisions, and solidify one common vision for your team.

The Benefits of Improv

Improv warm-up exercises and games are fun, give people permission to be silly, and instills a sense of play. This allows for personal editors and barriers to be broken and brings out a desire to collaborate opening up the possibilities for innovation and creativity.

Process

We Put Design Thinking Principles First

Research & Analysis

Before we begin any work, we get to know you, your business, and your people. We work to understand all aspects of every project.

Roadmap planning

Based on your objectives and definition of success, we create a customized plan to deliver. This plan takes into account time and budget constraints.

Execute & Deliver

Once approved, we deliver exactly what was promised in our roadmap. We strive to not only meet the desired outcomes but to exceed them.

Client Testimonials

Trusted by Top Companies

After the workshop, the team felt inspired and uplifted because they had been open and honest with each other. I would definitely book another workshop because I trust that Lindsay will deliver an accessible and effective workshop and that the team will have another positive experience.
Suzanne Decary

Director GTA Operations, CNIB

The Values Incubator Workshop was a great way for our team to step out of the day-to-day and have some fun while also doing some discovery around our shared values, and the things we find important in our daily work. We laughed, we learned about improv, and we walked away with the 3 values that we all share as a company – and with tips on how to strengthen and promote those values in the office everyday. I would recommend this workshop for any company that’s looking to strengthen their connections, and have a little fun along the way.
Erin Bury

Managing Director, Eighty-Eight

Interactive Ontario reached out to Lindsay Ellis to facilitate a LEGO Serious Play workshop as part of our monthly iLunch series. We wanted to do something engaging and unique for a summer session. It was a great choice! We had a fantastic turnout and the feedback from our participants was very positive. Our session presented a challenge, as it brought together participants from 30 different companies. Lindsay met that challenge head on, thoughtfully crafting a workshop that asked useful and interesting questions. We can’t wait to do it again next year!
Carly Beath

Program Director, Interactive Ontario

Lindsay delivered a workshop to an audience of high school students as part of ‘Girls Can Too‘ that was effective and easy to understand. She was encouraging, inspiring and made learning fun. The students felt empowered and inspired to take on their own business ideas. We would happily invited Lindsay back and would highly recommend her for any youth program.
