The Greenhouse
Accelerating growth, connection and breakthrough for lasting organisational change.
At the Greenhouse, we bring executives and their teams together to unlock their most complex and critical business challenges and to progress their societal ambitions.
Each Greenhouse Lab is a bespoke experience designed around your specific needs; a space in which you’ll dig into complex issues, disrupt the status quo, explore and co-create future opportunities, build and renew strategies and align on how to move forward.
Creative, collaborative, and strategic conversations are a pre-requisite for adapting to change and solving problems. However, when it comes to designing and facilitating those conversations, many leaders feel stuck.
Having delivered thousands of sessions with senior executives, we create the necessary conditions for game-changing business outcomes.
We do this by bringing the science of human engagement into the room. Combining divergent perspectives, encouraging all-in participation, and creating a shared sense of ownership and commitment is fundamental to the Greenhouse experience.
Eligibility
Greenhouse Labs are ideal for CXO executives and their senior teams looking to:
- Breakthrough their most complex challenges
- Create clarity and purpose on their direction of travel
- Explore new opportunities for innovation
- Build engagement and commitment for change
- Set the tone and behaviours that help teams to flourish and perform at their best
Overview
Our team will partner with you to identify the core problem you need to address and develop a bespoke Lab experience that will achieve your goals.
Human Architecture underpins the design of your Greenhouse Lab. At its core is a passion for human nature and motivation; how we connect, make decisions, and commit to change.
Our design process follows a three-step methodology:
Diagnose
What’s the underlying challenge? What are the human factors involved? What relationships are we trying to build? What needs to happen because of the Lab and what do we want people to be able to do?
Architect
What are the key moments that will drive our desired outcomes and how will we connect them? What do we want participants to focus their energy on and what activities, frameworks and perspectives will unlock the right level of conversation?
Engage
How will we build and sustain momentum? How will we create psychological safety? What conflict do we lean into and how do we ensure we use it to move us forward?
On the day of the Lab itself, our job is the purposeful orchestration of human interactions. We carry the responsibility of guiding the group to a successful outcome; we keep the group focused and engaged, we manage detours and dysfunction, we adjust to the dynamics of the room, we ask the questions that get better answers, and we build commitment to action.
Escaping the status quo is best done in an environment that is consciously designed for thinking differently. When you step into the Deloitte Greenhouse space at 1 New Street Square, you step away from business as usual.
From interactive smart boards to gallery-style displays, we create an environment that brings your brand, challenges, and opportunities to life all around you. Configurable space and furniture options activate creativity, encourage “unusual intersections,” and promote real-time adaptation to session dynamics.
We also offer Business Chemistry, a practical tool that improves team dynamics and collaboration, complimenting the personal profiling methodologies and coaching, offered by the Deloitte Leadership practice.
We worked with the CFO of a Business Services company to help her team build strategic alignment on direction of travel and to connect as a unit.
“The day was well tailored towards our needs, and in such a way it didn’t come across as truly prescribed but more of an interactive exploration. Despite themselves, the team really enjoyed the discussions, and I know they all found it to be useful to spend time together, with you, and in your great environment. Many thanks for your very skilled facilitation.”
