GoalScoping is the ability to diagramatically engage a room of stakeholders and team members around a central goal. Then deconstruct that goal in smaller goals within a rational structure, before finally turning attention to building the sets of tasks that will accomplish the goals. It allows teams to bring their best minds to creative approaches to solve the goals, not simply manage tasks.

This method has been used by the course instructor since 2000 over hundreds of projects, books, change programs … anything that has required strong direction across large task-sets and teams. Within GoalScoping are dozens of smaller tools and mental models to take people on journeys to explore the goals before committing to them. One example is DEBT, a way of applying Lean thinking.

The course is run the same way a real GoalScoping session would run: hands-on with practical examples on the physical and virtual whiteboard. Everyone is asked to get involved. It’s a great to experience it from the various points of view of the team — from sponsor and senior stakeholder, to facilitator, to hands-on team member.

All courses are run both in-person in an instructor-led room, and also virtually on MS Teams. Often we will have both physically present learners plus remote learners.

BCL strives to create an engaged experience. Regardless of whether you’re actually in the room, you’ll be part of workshops and teamed-up with other people.

An option some people choose is to attend a multi-day course partly in-person, partly remotely. It really is up to you and the way you assimilate information best
