Workshops.
The front door to working with SHIFT. Fixed-fee, time-boxed, and ended with a written deliverable. The Workshop is where we meet your team, work alongside them, and produce something defensible together.
Four kinds of Workshops. One leads to where you need to go.
— 01 / Strategy Workshop
Strategy Workshop
Set direction. Define what you are trying to do, and how.
A Strategy Workshop runs over two days with your leadership and operational team in the room. It is structured, evidence based, and ends with a written strategic position and a twelve month roadmap. We work alongside your team to define direction, pressure test assumptions, and produce a position you can act on.
Strategy Workshop
AI Readiness
Map where AI runs in your production. Before it maps you.
Strategy Workshop
AI Integration
A plan to integrate AI into production without breaking quality.
Strategy Workshop
Production Strategy
Twelve months. Commissioning, costs, capacity, capability.
Strategy Workshop
Operating Model Design
The structure decisions you make now define capability for years.
Strategy Workshop
Process Improvement
Fix the workflow that is repeatedly slow, expensive, or broken.
Strategy Workshop
The First 90 Days
A deliberate plan for the new role. Not an inherited one.
Strategy Workshop
Day-One Studio
Production done right from the start. Not retrofitted.
— What follows
A clear position usually demands building. After a Strategy Workshop, most brands move into a multi month engagement to build out the operating model, team, or AI workflow the strategy calls for.
— 02 / Diagnostic Workshop
Diagnostic Workshop
Look at your own production, together. Honestly.
A Diagnostic Workshop is one day plus pre work. The team brings the artefacts (briefs, budgets, tool lists, rosters, production records) and we run the diagnostic alongside them, not on them. The findings belong to your team because your team built them. Every diagnostic uses SHIFT's structured framework and ends with a RAG scored report.
Diagnostic Workshop
Markup Diagnostic
Find the markup you cannot see in your production budgets.
Diagnostic Workshop
Roster Diagnostic
An independent view of who is right for the work, and who is not.
Diagnostic Workshop
Shadow AI Diagnostic
A full picture of AI in use before the next legal question.
Diagnostic Workshop
Brief Diagnostic
Most production failures start in the brief.
Diagnostic Workshop
Maturity Diagnostic
Six dimensions. RAG scored. In a day.
Diagnostic Workshop
Insourcing Diagnostic
A quantified test of whether insourcing makes sense for you.
— What follows
A clear picture often surfaces a specific production or upcoming project that now needs hands on, independent oversight. Many brands move from a Diagnostic into an embedded engagement on that production.
— 03 / Practice Workshop
Practice Workshop
Master a discipline. Deep on one thing that matters.
A Practice Workshop runs over one or two days with the focused team in the room. The discipline is delivered by a senior advisor with deep, current experience, not generalist consulting theory. Every Practice Workshop is applied to real upcoming work the team is about to deliver, so what you learn lands the next week.
Practice Workshop
Sustainable Production
A structured approach to carbon targets that does not inflate costs.
Practice Workshop
Procurement-Production Alignment
Both sides aligned. Without compromising production quality.
Practice Workshop
Post-Production Cost Control
Where budget overruns hide. Found and controlled.
Practice Workshop
Music & Licensing Strategy
Sync fees and territorial rights, handled properly.
Practice Workshop
Cross-Border Production
Cost, talent, and compliance across territories.
Practice Workshop
Social-First Production
Production designed for the social-first reality.
Practice Workshop
Live & Real-Time Production
Capability rehearsed before the moment arrives.
— What follows
Most Practice Workshops orbit a specific production where the discipline needs applying. After the Workshop, brands often invite SHIFT to lead that production with independent advisory.
— 04 / Leadership Workshop
Leadership Workshop
Work out your position together. Before the moment arrives.
A Leadership Workshop is half a day to one day, senior audience only. The leadership team builds its position on a high stakes topic ahead of the conversation that needs it. The board, the CFO, the cultural flashpoint. SHIFT facilitates. The leadership team produces the answer. Every Leadership Workshop ends with a defensible position the room has built and signed off together.
Leadership Workshop
The Board AI Workshop
Walk into the board with a defensible AI position.
Leadership Workshop
Production ROI Workshop
Production ROI in language finance can act on.
Leadership Workshop
AI Cost vs. Value Workshop
What in your AI stack actually earns its place.
Leadership Workshop
Crisis Production Workshop
A crisis production plan, rehearsed before the crisis.
— What follows
Leaders who have had SHIFT in the room for a high stakes moment usually want us in the room for the next one. After a Leadership Workshop, the most common path is an ongoing advisory relationship with the leadership team.
What every SHIFT Workshop ends with.
Every Workshop produces a written outcome the team owns. Not slides. A document.
— 01
Full documentation.
Everything that was discussed, decided, and left open, written up and shared with the team.
— 02
Full analysis.
A structured analysis of the inputs the team brought into the room. Briefs, budgets, tool inventories, rosters, production records. Every artefact gets a written read.
— 03
Next steps.
Concrete actions the team committed to in the room, with owners and timelines.
— 04
A recommendation.
Where it applies, a recommendation on the right SHIFT engagement to follow. Sometimes that is no follow up at all. Both are valid outcomes.
