The 6F Crystal
Most corporate workshops are expensive theater.
A slide deck that eats half the day. Too many people in the room. A vague conversation that ends in "great alignment" and nothing to show for it. We build workshops like a product instead, on six principles. Each one eliminates a specific kind of waste.
Facilitation
Wasted energy
A guide on the side,
not a sage on the stage.
Follow-up
Wasted effort
Every decision leaves the room with an owner and a next step.
Flow
Wasted time
Tight, strictly timed blocks.
No open‑mic hour.
Focus
Wasted scope
One narrow objective, locked before anyone walks in.
Framework
Wasted cognitive load
Visual canvases instead of
town‑hall discussion.
Folks
Wasted headcount
Only the people needed to decide and build.
If any one of these is missing, the workshop fails.
"Matt May completely changed how I thought about strategy. In one session, we completely changed our strategy, with the entire executive leadership team bought in and aligned."
— Kyle Nelson, EVP, Corporate Strategy
