In essence, Kanopy is for any team or organisation in the private, public and third sector looking to gain clarity, align their focus, and take actionable steps toward achieving their goals.

Some of the situations that teams have come to us in the past:

• Product teams trying to make a ton of progress on a potential new feature

• An executive team aiming to get next year’s strategy down on paper

• A marketing team hoping to nail a new campaign

• A newly formed startup looking to get their value proposition down on paper

Our events are particularly suited for those who appreciate the added value of expert facilitation, a beautiful venue, and a collaborative community setting.

Well, there’s a question, huh. The advice here is to bring something that feels really important to you. A challenge that’s either been spinning its wheels for a while, or an opportunity that you’ve been itching to get to.

Challenges we’ve worked on in the past are:

• How should we structure next year’s degree course?

• How do we tackle the rollout of a new brand?

• How might we create an engaging community for the Scottish technology sector?

In essence, Kanopy events are designed to address challenges related to strategic planning, team cohesion, and operational effectiveness in an inclusive and focused environment.

A Kanopy event is like a "strategy gym" for your organization. Forget half-baked documents and theoretical exercises— Just like a good workout, you'll be transported into the zone of what truly matters to your organisation.

By day's end, you won't just have a roadmap of initiatives to chase, but also the wisdom to know which distractions to avoid. Plus, just as a great gym session leaves you energised, the momentum you gain at Kanopy will fuel your focus long after you've stepped out of our venue. Come for the strategy, stay for that sweet endorphin boost.

Except during the breaks where you’ll be invited to mingle and meet other businesses from different sectors, each team will have their own table and space to work on their challenge privately. We will not ask you to share anything about your business publicly that you are not comfortable sharing.

Working alongside 9 other teams, experience the unique balance of collective momentum and individual focus. Your team enjoys the privacy needed to tackle its specific challenges while drawing energy from the broader group.

While remote collaboration is a core part of Korero’s offering, a Kanopy is about making the best of coming together and using your team’s time purposely.

We do however recognise that this may exclude you or a team member, so please let us know if a remote Kanopy edition would be of interest on hello@korero.studio.

Due to the mechanics of the workshop we need teams to be a maximum of 5 and a minimum of 3. So we can not accommodate teams of 1.

However, you can build a team for a Kanopy event, in the case of exploring a new business venture. These people could be a board member, customer, a trusted friend - basically anyone who’s opinion you trust and who has a vested interest in your venture succeeding.

We strive to create an inclusive and accessible environment for all participants. Our venue is wheelchair-accessible, including accessible toilets. Dietary requirements are thoughtfully considered in our catering options.

Our facilitation techniques are tailored for individuals with varying levels of experience in innovation workshops, and facilitators are always available for personalized assistance. Additionally, our event timing is designed to accommodate those with school and nursery responsibilities.

We're committed to ensuring every attendee can fully participate and benefit from our Kanopy event.
