At Cense, we believe transformation happens through engaged learning and collaborative discovery. Our facilitation and training services blend award-winning educational expertise with inclusive, interactive methodologies that empower participants to become agents of change within their organizations.
Our Facilitation Philosophy
Our approach to facilitation is rooted in the belief that the wisdom needed for meaningful change already exists within your team. Dr. Cameron Norman, recognized with multiple teaching awards and cited among the top 1% of researchers in his field, brings over 25 years of experience creating learning environments that activate this collective intelligence.
We design sessions that:
- Engage diverse learning styles through multi-modal activities that balance reflection, discussion, creation, and application
- Bridge theory and practice by connecting evidence-based frameworks with participants’ lived experiences
- Create psychological safety where challenging assumptions and testing new ideas becomes natural
- Balance structure and emergence with flexible frameworks that provide direction while allowing for unexpected insights
Training Programs That Transform
Our training offerings extend beyond knowledge transfer to build lasting capacity for innovation and adaptation. We specialize in:
Design Thinking for Change-Makers
Interactive workshops that demystify design methods and equip participants with practical tools to address complex challenges. Participants move from understanding design principles to applying them directly to their organizational contexts. We bring design thinking to life and enhance your creative capacity to learn, innovate, adapt, and thrive.
Adaptive Leadership in Complexity
Programs that develop leaders’ capacity to navigate uncertainty, make sense of changing environments, and guide teams through transformation. Our complexity-informed approach emphasizes practical wisdom over prescriptive solutions.
Developmental Evaluation
Skill-building sessions that integrate evaluation thinking into everyday practice, helping organizations become learning systems that continuously adapt and improve. Participants develop capabilities to gather meaningful feedback and translate it into action.
Systems Thinking for Social Innovation
Workshops that build capacity to see patterns, identify leverage points, and design interventions that address root causes rather than symptoms.
The Cense Difference
What sets our facilitation and training apart:
- Integration of multiple disciplines – We weave together behavioural psychology, systems thinking, strategic foresight, and design to create rich learning experiences
- Tailored approaches – We customize methodologies to your context and learning objectives rather than delivering off-the-shelf solutions
- Progressive learning journeys – We design developmental pathways that build capability over time rather than one-off workshops
- Inclusive and accessible – We create environments where diverse voices are heard and different ways of knowing are valued
- Emphasis on application – We ensure learning translates to action through embedded practice opportunities and follow-up support
Clients consistently report that our sessions not only deliver valuable content but transform how teams work together long after the formal training ends. We measure our success not by what participants learn, but by what they do differently as a result.
