We’ve been where you are now.
We weren’t always a facilitation training company. Before facilitator.com, our friends knew us as AJ&Smart — a product design & strategy studio based in Berlin, Germany.
We’re a small team of 13 people from 9 different countries who like to make things. We’re designers, filmmakers, researchers, writers, teachers, and product nerds.
Our passion for making things led us to become a busy design studio, excitedly building products with many of the world’s leading companies. We loved the projects and adored our clients — but we kept running into the same collaboration issues: endless meetings, internal politics, circular discussions…
After a while, work became less and less fun. It became less about making things, and more about busywork, pointless meetings, and just waiting for the weekend.
Any of this sound familiar? We were confident there had to be a better way, and we didn’t stop until we found it.
We have a vision for how
people should work together.
The way people work together and collaborate in real-time is fundamentally broken.
We know because we’ve seen it firsthand. We’ve worked with some of the most innovative companies in the world — and they’re still not immune to the problems that plague real-time collaboration in most companies.
After relentless experimentation and tinkering with different ideas, techniques, processes and methodologies, we cracked the code. We accidentally stumbled upon “workshopping” and facilitation, and the way we worked with our clients was never the same again.
By becoming Facilitators, and learning how to design and run workshops to deliver our client work, we managed to completely cut-through all of the “collaboration chaos” that plagues companies and get results, shockingly quick.
We went so all-in with facilitation that we oriented our entire company around it, creating facilitation training programs that have now impacted tens of thousands of people from all over the world, facilitating workshops for many of the world’s best-known companies, and ultimately creating a dedicated company around the topic that completely changed the way we, and many others, work: facilitator.com
