Take a Seat at the World Café – Using Company-Wide Co-Creation Effectively 

Large-Scale Formats

We design high-impact formats for the big stage: summits, labs, and World Cafés.

Is your organization at a point where large groups of employees need to come together? Are you facing a moment that calls for clear realignment – strategically, culturally, or structurally? In situations like these, traditional top-down communication falls short. What’s needed is a way to mobilize the entire organization quickly and align it for lasting impact.

This is where our company-wide co-creation formats make the difference. They bring people together at scale, create clarity, and foster true alignment.

Because transformation only succeeds when people are not just informed – but actively involved in shaping what comes next.

When Large-Scale Formats Make Sense
  • Changes in top management
  • Disruptive shifts in the market
  • New strategic directions
  • Periods of crisis or rapid growth
  • Mergers, integrations, and reorganizations
 
Co-Creation as a Catalyst for Real Change
Large-scale formats are far more than traditional kick-offs. When designed well, they become pivotal moments – where change is not simply communicated, but co-created. People who contribute to developing solutions are far more likely to take ownership when it comes to implementation.


The result:
  • Faster alignment across teams and functions
  • Better outcomes driven by diverse perspectives
  • A stronger sense of ownership and accountability

 
Formats at a Glance – From Proven to State-of-the-Art

 

Depending on your objectives, a range of formats can be applied. Established approaches include:
  • Open Space formats
  • Future and change conferences
  • World Cafés / Knowledge Cafés

Today, these are often enhanced and combined with more dynamic, modern settings such as:
  • Transformation Labs
  • Strategy Labs
  • Co-Creation Labs
  • Leadership Summits
  • Alignment Summits
  • Large-scale innovation sprints

 

In practice, this often results in hybrid large-scale designs that seamlessly combine interaction, strategic clarity, and disciplined execution.
