What customers say

I now have a good understanding of my own needs in the implementation of hybrid work and know what I can and cannot influence. By formulating concrete actions, a good application of hybrid working is within reach for me.

The workshops were very practical and well structured. It was valuable to use Design Thinking and agile practices for the design of my work experience. The exchange with my buddy and other participants brought a lot of insights! I recommend Prototype You to every organisation that wants to enable their employees to design their ideal work experience and work towards it.

It's great to consciously think about how to do your work best. And also to share this with each other as colleagues. We now have a better understanding of how we all want to work and why.

At first I thought: what kind of experiments can you come up with to test your work routine? Once I got the hang of it, I went crazy!

How do I do my best work?

That used to be clear. You worked in the office during office hours. But the world of work is changing fast. The ways of the industrial era no longer fits today's predominantly creative knowledge work. Our technology now allows us to work from anywhere anytime, and with an extra push from the pandemic, hybrid work environments are becoming the norm. We can now deliver value smarter ways, but how do you organise that in a good way? The line between work and private life is blurring, leading to increased work pressure and absenteeism. Creating sufficient connection and engagement are also a challenge. Where, when, how and how long you work is all changing. This makes the question 'how do I do my best work' a lot harder than before.

Are you already a great employer?

If people are not comfortable in their places, the organization feels that pain as well. Talent is underutilized or leaves. With the 'Great Resignation' in a tight labor market, organizations are jostling for talent. Younger generations expect an organizational focus on well-being and are looking for connection and development. More and more organizations are fishing from the same global pond with 'Work From Anywhere' offers. Actively innovating towards the best work experience is therefore not only useful, but a necessity. How do you ensure that attractive workplace where your people deliver their best work in a sustainable way?

What is the best hybrid work experience?

Unfortunately. There is no one-size-fits-all method or magic pill. The best way depends on the type of work, the organization and people themselves. Every person has unique work needs, energy givers and takers. So how? Within the framework of the organization, give employees freedom, trust and mandate to shape their own work experience. Respond to individual needs, but take each other into account as a team. Support a process of experimentation: what works and what doesn't? In this way you work towards a supported working method that suits the team, people feel good about themselves and the organization performs better.

Why Prototype You?

We make employees directors of their work experience through an approach with small experiments, recurring moments of positive reflection and support from colleagues. Our approach is based on best practices from lean, agile, design thinking and behavior change. Our starting point is the individual employee and we stimulate good conversations between colleagues about working and working together. This leads to a better understanding of each other's work needs, areas for improvement come to the surface, and employees actively help each other build and test prototypes towards an ideal work experience. Our approach is action-oriented, peer-to-peer and iterative. Employees learn with each other by doing from ownership, trust and connection. Along the way, employees learn our way of thinking and doing. In this way, they can continue to work towards an ideal work experience, even when we are no longer there.

What can you expect?

In 1 to 3 sessions, we guide up to 10 participants through a workbook of assignments to their ideal work experience. The sessions build on each other and can take place online or on location. In session 1 employees make a prototype design of their ideal work experience based on their own needs and a concrete action plan to work towards it. In session 2, employees reflect on insights from the past cycle (usually 2 to 4 weeks), come to a prioritized list of themes to tackle together as a team and again make an action plan. In session 3, employees reflect again, elaborate on the most important themes in the team, and create a plan to continue prototyping with the team.

In the sessions, we work in short timeboxes with high speed and energy. We stimulate knowledge sharing between employees, share our own best practices and send extra tips after each session. Participants end each session with a focused action plan that helps to make concrete progress. A buddy system ensures extra commitment and connection. The actions and experiments mainly take place within the regular work and are also often about not doing something or doing less. You can register as a team or via open registration of individual employees. Our style? Practical, personal and fun!
