“We need better training.”
“People aren’t adopting the new process.”
“We need everyone aligned.”
“Can you build something for this?”

Maybe training is part of the answer. But underneath the request, there’s often something else: readiness, incentives, leadership, systems, trust, or conditions that make change difficult in the first place.

The brief is rarely the brief.

And in 2026, that matters. Solutions, ideas, and strategies are moving faster than organizations’ capacity to execute, adopt, and go.

So what if the people we’ve traditionally asked to deliver training are positioned to do something more?

This 90-minute PopUpThinkTank brings together 25+ facilitators, L&D practitioners, OD/OE pros, and change-makers to explore one shared challenge:

What timeless principles can help Enterprise Facilitators move beyond fulfilling requests and become internal consultants who help their orgs get ready for what’s next?

This isn’t a demo, webinar, panel, or pitch.

And there’s no pressure to speak in front of the full group. You’ll contribute in ways designed for meaningful connection without performative pressure, while seeing how insight emerges across a room.

We won’t compile shortcuts or hacks. We’ll pool our wisdom to co-create a set of durable principles—and share what emerges back with every contributor.

Because helping organizations change may start with helping them become ready to change.

And we might be uniquely positioned to do just that.

Start with a shared challenge—what we’re here to do.

In just a few minutes, we create a common starting point—context, tension, ideas, and the real challenge at the center of the conversation.

Move through a series of insight rounds.

Through a sequence of fast-paced conversations, you’ll bring your ideas, instincts, and experience into the room—without the pressure of speaking in front of a large audience.

No pressure to speak in front of everyone.

Leave connected and energized. Walk away with fresh insight, new relationships, and a co-created resource shaped by the people in the room.

HOW IT WORKS

What Is the Format?

Every PopUpThinkTank follows a carefully designed rhythm.

Not rigid. Not overproduced. Intentional.

Participants move through a fast-paced sequence of shared context, small-group conversation, reflection, and collaborative thinking — all designed to create momentum without putting people on the spot.

The experience is structured enough to feel safe, but flexible enough for real insight, creativity, and connection to emerge.

Small breakouts, thoughtful prompts, and tight pacing help conversations move quickly past awkwardness and into genuine engagement. People often tell us the same thing afterward:

“I didn’t expect to feel this energized.”

That’s by design.

Momentum for moments that matter.

30+ Thinkers. 90 Minutes. 100s of Ideas & Connections. 1 Shared Challenge.

Experiences that help people, teams, and organizations get ready to solve problems, navigate change, and move meaningful work forward.
