SERVICE DESCRIPTION

KICK-STARTING
YOUR PROJECT WITH
A BOOST


FACILITATION

We facilitate your kick-off workshop in order to help you and all actors to start your valuable project better together. We make sure that even a diverse group obtains a common understanding of a project.

THE (BUSINESS) CASE

You want to create something new! For this reason, you are going to launch an important initiative. This project or program brings a variety of people together, people with different gifts and expertise, people who would otherwise not work together like this. These people have different points of view and speak various (expert) languages. In such a diverse group, a misunderstanding doesn't have to develop. It is the natural starting point. We can help you and all actors to develop a truly shared understanding - in very short time.

WHAT WE DO

We organize and facilitate your kick-off workshop by means of the Project Canvas and slow thinking techniques. In advance of the workshop we will have an interview and see through your initiative as well as the related ecosystem. Together, we will agree on the best workshop procedure and the list of participants. During the workshop, we will take over the moderation, while you can entirely focus on your project role and the demanding work. By applying the Project Canvas, you and all actors will attentively share information, take and understand various perspectives, and develop a common picture of your project. You will benefit from our expertise of hundreds of successful Project Canvas workshops. We guarantee magic conversations, with amazing insights and team building integrated. That’s the extra boost for your important endeavor.

TOOLS AND METHODS WE USE

- Project Canvas
- Slow Thinking
- In-depth Thinking Tools (if needed)


We customize the service to the needs of your challenge (e.g. state and complexity of project, type of industry and ecosystem, etc.). We provide attractive rates and reduced conditions for those who work not-for-profit and want to improve the world.

About us

Founded in 2013 by Karen Schmidt & Frank Habermann, “Over the Fence” is an open  community. For people in projects. Conceived and created with love and passion in Berlin and in the world.

We re-think projects! For this, we connect deep expertise in leadership and management with stories, wisdom, and modes of thought from other disciplines like sports, psychology, design, theatre and the arts. By this, we aim to provide the most valuable knowledge for anyone, who faces complex projects and is looking for hands-on tools. We are offering handbooks, toolkits, and very effective help for all project makers, movers and shakers. Our motto is “simple but powerful – demystified and buzzword-free”.

Use it, share it, co-create it!
