The Kickstarter Workshop
Launch new projects with clarity and confidence
No more delayed or failed product launches. Lay the foundation for the perfect project discovery from day-one.
“Worth every penny!“
First time I ever had a pre-discovery workshop. Normally we’d jump into discovery phase after some quick research but always hit roadblocks. After this we walked away more aligned with a clear, actionable plan for discovery. Can see how this saves time and money.

Are you finding it challenging to start projects on the right foot, with your team aligned and objectives clearly defined?
Maybe you’ve been burned with launching into the discovery phase for your project only for your potentially game-changing product or service to hit with a wall of objections, limited support and chaos half way through? Too often, teams rush into the Discovery phase—focusing on requirements gathering, solution design, and project planning—way before laying the necessary groundwork for success.
Perfect for growing small-medium sized organisations or boutique agencies and consultancies working with businesses, The Kickstarter is the perfect ‘pre-discovery’ workshop designed to help teams prepare and plan for a successful discovery phase in less than a day!
With this workshop you’ll eliminate uncertainty, build consensus among stakeholders, and gather the essential information needed to make the right decisions.
What you’ll get out of this workshop
✅ Strategic Preparation for Discovery: Prepare your team for the discovery phase, ensuring all members understand their roles and responsibilities.
✅ Align Your Team’s Vision and Goals: Get everyone on the same page before any discovery begins, reducing conflicts and enhancing collaboration.
✅ Define Clear, Actionable Objectives: Begin setting objectives that are specific, measurable, and achievable to guide your team through the Discovery phase with confidence and less conflict.
✅ Overcome Discovery Phase Challenges: Identify and mitigate common costly pitfalls early— from misalignment, confusion, resource readiness to undefined goals.
This pre-discovery workshop is right for:
Founders, product managers, and innovation leaders within organisations or consultancies/agencies representing a business with new insights or a working hypothesis that could lead to a potential groundbreaking idea but you need to:
✅ Bring key stakeholders together to align on the most promising opportunities to explore during the discovery phase, minimizing disagreements about which problems to prioritize
✅ Define clear, actionable objectives and establish a shared vision to guide your discovery efforts, ensuring the team stays on the right course.
✅ Gather essential information and insights to prevent the project from drifting into scope creep, getting cancelled, or, worse, failing.
