Moments Made to Scramble
Critical Challenges

Navigate urgent, high-value challenges. Scramble brings the clarity, speed, and courage needed to move forward when the pressure is on.

High-Stakes OffSites

Big moments deserve more than breakout sessions and keynote slides. Scramble transforms traditional off-sites  into high-impact arenas for real alignment, accountability, and momentum.

Board & Executive Work Sessions

Meetings don't cut it. The level of critical conversations that shape direction, trust, and outcomes. Scramble brings the space for bold perspective, the structure for courageous decisions, and the presence to lead with conviction.

How to scramble
A critical or complex situation emerges.

You're dealing with a Non-Standard Situation: More uncertainty, rising risks, and constraints than you're used to. It demands action now.

Your SOPs and business-as-usual approaches aren't equipped to handle it. You’re weighing timing, trust, and who needs to know what. The goal is not just to react, but to shape the path forward by balancing optionality with clarity and conviction.

You’re already mobilizing an intervention team — a small task force or strike team. You don’t need consensus. You need silo-breaking action. You need space for disagreement and divergence, then rapid convergence around best solutions. The real work is just beginning.

Scramble is your go-to approach to navigate, engage, and address.

You've seen great ideas die in committee. Not this time. Scramble programs are operational interventions – not contests, workshops, or exercises.

Scramble's approach is built for these intense conditions. Instead of wasting time in meetings talking past each other and countering hypotheticals of hypotheticals, you frame the situation and issue the call-to-action. Scramble planning tools help you quickly decode the circumstances and reframe it into a mandate. Root causes emerge and the constraints become features, not barriers. You uncover pressure points, channel action, and track breakthrough metrics to realize powerful insights. This is what Scrambling is all about.

Deploy your Scramble System

Each Scramble is a proving-ground for determining pathways that will actually survive execution.

We guide the full experience in close partnership — from design and tooling to facilitation and insight implementation — at the speed your situation demands.

Our program format is typically delivered as a 1–2 day in-person group work session. These are high-focus, pressurized arenas where participants immerse in new workflows, perspectives, collaborations, and approaches to de-risk novel paths forward. The stakeholders, resource allocators, and decision-makers closest to the work rapidly progress solutions beyond what is possible in their everyday work environment.

Deliverables include portfolios of deployable solutions. Participants dismantle silos and crush complacency as they break old habits and return with new ways to work within their existing teams, .

Deliver critical wins at critical times.

Scrambling shows what your team is truly capable in pressurized Situations.

People break out of the silos, engage directly, and make hard calls together. Trust builds and action follows.  Pace set your organization in launching "protofolios" of deployable solutions.

You've built new capability, competency, and capacity in-house.

Scrambling wakes up an entire organization to what's possible. Once you've Scrambled, you discover a new way to operate across the organization.

You find new capacity to take on emerging issues. Runways are built for coalescing disparate views, competing interests, and varying levels of experience and abilities. Scramble gives you a new model to turn urgent challenges into breakthrough moments that transform every Non-Standard Situation across your entire business.

How long does it take to run a Scramble?
