What We Do

Rather than solve a problem for you, we’d love for you to experience new ways of learning and thinking so your questions are reframed by you. Your obstacles are removed by you. New perspectives are introduced by you. Your issues are solved by you…with Bloomspace as your guide, coach, therapist, or whatever you want to call us.

 

Our Methods

 

Design Thinking

Design Thinking is a powerful problem-solving tool when applied liberally and discerningly. Through the appropriate application of the Empathy, Definition, Ideation, Prototyping, and Testing phases of the process (though not necessarily in that order) we believe there is an ever-expanding universe of unearthed potential solutions and improvements.

Play (games, roles, drums)

Play activities open minds, create connections, and offer the perfect opportunity to discover metaphors for innovation in business and personal growth. We host a myriad of ways to play, including and not limited to games and methods we have developed with partners: Reveal & Reflect, Exquisite Corpse, Visual Explorer, Memory Kaleidoscope, bucket drumming and more.

Improv

Creative activities also open minds, form connections, and offer opportunities to discover metaphors for innovation in business and personal growth. And improv is the ultimate creative activity. Central to improv is the "yes, and…" mentality. With guided facilitation, “yes, and…” can take you and your organization to ideas and dimensions previously not dreamed. Caution: Belly-aching laughter is a common side effect. Consult your doctor before participating!

LEGO® Serious Play

The LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® methodology is an innovative process designed to enhance innovation and business performance. Research shows that hands-on, minds-on learning produces a deeper, more meaningful understanding of the world and its possibilities. The LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® methodology deepens the reflection process and supports an effective dialogue for everyone in the organization.

 

Our Services

 

We customize the format of our services to match each unique client. Contact us to find out what combination of preparation, facilitated sessions, consultation, and followup are suitable for you. Below are a few formats we have provided our clients in the past.

 

Workshops

Workshops are a tried and proven way to take a break from heads down daily work and reset and check for alignment, reconnect, strategize, and enjoy yourselves. 90-minute workshops can do wonders for team engagement, team building, and getting to know your teammates in a different context. For strategy and vision-setting, we provide half-, full-, and multi-day sessions.

Regular Sessions

We offer, and highly recommend, weekly, monthly, quarterly consultation and facilitations of any and all of the methods above. Learning and experiencing new methods of thinking, sharing and connecting can be eye-opening and mind-boggling. Next-level learning, regular practice, and impartial, expert feedback can turn the new and improved into efficient, high performance routines. This does not have to be time consuming and resource heavy. Contact us now to find out more.

2-day Fun Camp

Take part of your work week (or the weekend!) and immerse your team in a variety of fully engaging and fun activities. The goal can be team building, alignment, visioning and strategy, instructional and onboarding or a combination thereof. For example, we’ve offered highly popular Intro to Design Thinking Fun Camps where participants learn and apply DT to explore actual and specific issues (sourced by you or a third-party) and submit real solutions.
