Orobie Basecamp

The WALK method

The method: WALK, BUILD, DECIDE.

Orobie Basecamp takes entrepreneurs and management teams out of the usual meeting setting when talking around a table gets them nowhere. First move and sharpen the question, then make insights tangible, and only then decide. Reverse that order and you get an enthusiastic day with no consequences.

WALK: sharpen the question first

Most teams start with solutions because they feel safer. We use the first kilometres to name what is really going on, in plain words, without jargon. If the question changes along the way, that is progress and not lost time.

WALK: the missing perspective

We switch conversation partners so you hear your question from someone who sees it differently: a colleague from another department, or an entrepreneur from another sector. That is the moment someone asks the question nobody asks internally.

BUILD: what this says about you

Not every problem is a problem, some are a pattern. Here we look at your own part in it: what are you doing that keeps this in place? Back at the table, LEGO® Serious Play® makes that visible, because what stands in bricks can be discussed without anyone defending themselves.

DECIDE: put the decision in writing

A WALK does not end when everyone had a good conversation. It ends when there is new language for what is going on, everyone sees their own part in it, and at least one concrete choice goes home, with an owner and a date.

The method: WALK, BUILD, DECIDE.

This is for you if

  • You are curious about how a facilitated walk works.
  • You want a method, not improvisation on a hillside.
  • You doubt whether walking really helps you decide.

This is not for you if

  • You want an outdoor training with ropes and climbing.
  • You are looking for team building without content.
  • You want a one-off event without follow-up.

Frequently asked questions

Short and concrete.

Who facilitates?
Tycho and Ludo, qualified in the WALK method and in LEGO® Serious Play®. From 13 participants there are always two of us.
What is WALK not for?
Not for therapy, not for performance reviews, and not for a decision that has already been made and is only looking for buy-in. We would rather say that in the first conversation than afterwards.
Do you need LEGO® Serious Play®?
Not always. For one concrete decision the walk is enough. For roles, tension or strategy the combination works better, because bricks make the undiscussable discussable.
Does this work without mountains?
Yes. The method works in the Flemish Ardennes, in the woods near Ronse and even on a loop around your office. The Orobie Alps add distance and time, not the method.

So. What now?

Step 1

A thirty minute conversation

You describe what is not moving. We ask the question more clearly and say honestly whether we are the right party.

Step 2

A proposal that suits you

The right formula, the price, the duration, and what we need from you. No standard quote.

Step 3

A date and a checkpoint

A date that works for your agenda, plus a conversation after thirty days to see if the plan remains alive.
