What it is

SessionLab is a planning tool for workshops, training sessions, and facilitated meetings. Arrange activities in an agenda, set their duration, and let the schedule recalculate when something changes. It also provides facilitation activities, reusable plans, sharing, and export options for the people delivering the session.

Ways to use it

Ideas from real executive operations work. Take the ones that fit.

  • Plan a leadership offsite with timed discussions, exercises, and breaks.
  • Recalculate the day's schedule when a speaker needs more time.
  • Prepare a facilitator agenda with instructions and a shorter version for participants.
  • Reuse a workshop structure for recurring planning or onboarding sessions.
  • Choose an activity from the facilitation library to collect ideas or help a group reach a decision.

Our take

Especially useful for an offsite with several contributors, changing timings, and a facilitator who needs more detail than the attendees. Build the working agenda once and share the appropriate version, rather than maintaining separate schedules that gradually disagree.
