Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about what we do and how we go about it. If you can’t find what you’re looking for just give us a call.

Can the facilitation be adapted to suit our attendees, even if it’s a portfolio piece?

Yes it can, which is the reason why every AKT session is bespoke to each client, even if it’s a programme that’s been run time and time again. As part of each workshop’s unique, AKT-designed facilitation, we can also incorporate specific messages, hot topics and targeted questions which will be wholly relevant to your attendees, and which will provide you with feedback in a way that a work-based questionnaire or census never could. People have a chance to be heard and to be honest at our sessions, and it’s an opportunity which most people don't want to miss.

Can a workshop’s running time be adapted?

Absolutely. There is a minimum time in which a programme can be delivered and still achieve maximum impact and engagement, and we can usually adapt a programme to suit a specific timeslot if it’s going to help your agenda. However, if the requested time is too short to effectively run the session then we’ll always be honest and let you know.

How long is the delivery time?

Delivery time depends on a few factors, (eg. how long ago was the piece run? Can we get the same cast?) but we’ve always managed to get a piece up and running in time for a conference or training day deadline. If it’s a new piece then ideally a minimum 4 week turnaround time would be best to write, re-draft, rehearse and deliver the session. That said, we can also make things happen more quickly if time is of the essence! As with all things at AKT – if we can, we will.

How much will it cost? Can you give me a ballpark figure?

Every workshop is unique, so a ballpark figure can be difficult to calculate. Even if it’s one of our portfolio pieces there are still a number of variables which come into play, eg. Where is the venue? How far will we need to travel? Will we need trains, flights, taxis? Will accommodation be required? Will the stage manager need to hire a van? Are there any specific props that we’ll need to acquire? When was the piece last delivered - will it require a refresher rehearsal or a full rehearsal? All these things must be taken into account when putting a proposal together, but at AKT we promise to strive to always provide the best value for money we possibly can.
