The Concept Challenging senior managers at Kent County Council to think differently Case Study - Digital Futurism Training Preparation – Building the Workshop Understanding the client is key when you’re going to spend 90 minutes with them. Tom spent time with the client in advance of the event to understand their objectives and the nature of the audience: their level of development and their receptivity to new ideas. Based on the feedback, Tom developed a cut down version of his ‘Future-Proof’ training that covered tools for foresight, building athletic organisations, and building future-ready skills for yourself and your team.platform. The Client – Kent County Council The Brief Kent County Council supports one of the largest populations of all the English counties, providing education (schools and youth services), social services, highways, fire and rescue services, libraries, waste disposal, consumer services and town and country planning. The council faces challenges of both an ageing population and a large youth population, with both cohorts being larger than average compared to other UK counties. Kent County Council invited Tom to kick off its ‘Challenger’ event, an annual session for senior managers designed to make them think differently and develop their skills. Given the challenges presented by the coronavirus pandemic, the session was switched from face-to-face to a live stream at short notice. Tom had to adapt his 90 minute workshop session for the digital format, delivered via screen share and webcam using the GoToTraining platform.
