Facilitation and change enablement for leadership teams

MakeTeamWork is a facilitation and change enablement studio founded in Amsterdam in 2020 by two designers and business psychologists. We help leadership teams close the gap between the strategy they’ve agreed and the behaviour that follows. Most change efforts stall not because people disagree with the plan but because ownership never leaves the room where it was decided. We fix that through Activation Design: a short diagnostic, then facilitated sessions, programmes and offsites that get the right people deciding, aligning and acting together. We’ve worked with Miro, IBM, Palladium, Petrobras Global Trading and LUMA Institute, and we run engagements across Europe and Latin America in English, Portuguese, Spanish and Italian. Everything is facilitated by the founders themselves.

Description

MakeTeamWork helps leadership teams turn strategy into shared action. Founded in 2020 by two designers and business psychologists, we design and facilitate innovation programmes, offsites and human-centred design training for organisations such as Miro, IBM, Palladium, Petrobras Global Trading and LUMA Institute. Our method is Activation Design. Teams rarely stall for lack of ideas; they stall because ownership never transfers from the few who set direction to the many who have to act on it. We start with a short diagnostic across five areas (shared direction, decision architecture, collaboration flow, trust, and execution and learning), then design facilitated sessions that get the right people making real decisions together. The best work is shaped in dialogue, so we don’t deliver answers. We build your team’s capacity to find and own them. What to expect: a scoping call and tailored programme design before anything is booked, facilitation by the founders themselves, and sessions that end with decisions, owners and next steps. Engagements run from a single workshop to multi-month programmes. Based in Amsterdam, working across Europe and Latin America in English, Portuguese and Polish.

StoryWe met in Berlin in 2019, both Hyper Island alumni, both ex-strategists tired of watching smart organisations agree bold strategies and never act on them. MakeTeamWork launched in 2020 to fix that: diagnose how teams really work, then help them own the change. The founders still lead every engagement
