What a Dialogue & Ideas session is

Dialogue & Ideas are one-hour sessions for leadership and executive teams: a talk or a workshop facilitated by an expert in the humanities, technology or science, designed for your context. You are not buying access to a speaker roster: you are buying an original experience, built around the questions your team has right now. At your office, online or at an offsite.

A session combines a short talk with a guided exercise, around a topic that matters to leadership: how to decide better, how to think clearly with AI on the team, how to tell the strategy so it is understood. The difference from a speaker bureau is the design: we do not sell a name, we design the session with you and it is facilitated by someone who knows the subject. It works in an executive committee, a leadership offsite or as a module of an L&D programme.

What teams say

The team at the Human Element organised a fantastic gathering for GBSB Global Alumni: an AI workshop, a founders' panel and drinks on the Norrsken terrace. They achieved our goal of exploring knowledge and building a network beyond work, with a warm, humanist touch.

Questions about the leadership sessions

See all FAQs →

Is this training or team building?
It is training in the shape of an experience: a facilitated session that works on specific skills — decision making, critical thinking, communication — with the leadership team. It fits an offsite or a management meeting, but it is not a recreational activity or team building.
How is it different from hiring a speaker?
A speaker bureau sells access to a name; we design the session with you and it is facilitated by an expert in the subject. The content adapts to your context and ends with an applicable exercise, not just applause.
Can it happen at our office or online?
Yes. All talks and most workshops work at your office, at an offsite or in a virtual format.
For how many people?
From an executive committee of 6–8 people up to teams of 30. For larger audiences (internal events, conventions) we design a conference format.
Does it fit an L&D programme?
Yes. It can work as a module within a leadership development programme, with repeated sessions on different topics over the year.
