Case Study: TFK Consulting achieves successful virtual open space conferences with GroupMap

TFK Consulting runs successful virtual open space conferences for 35 consultants with GroupMap

TFK Consulting, a group coaching and change advisory firm based in Germany, faced challenges with traditional face-to-face conferences. Their principal consultant, Thomas Krecker, found these events to be dysfunctional due to ineffective group brainstorming, inaccessible due to cost and time constraints, and administratively heavy. They sought a solution that could meet the demands of modern agile teams and bring their successful Open Space methodology into the online world, leading them to the vendor GroupMap.

The solution implemented was GroupMap's virtual Open Space, which used customizable maps synchronized with Zoom to create an engaging online environment that mimicked a physical event. This approach provided simplicity, instant reporting, and real-time map creation. The results were highly successful, with GroupMap becoming a core tool for team building and brainstorming. Participants reported being impressed, and one group of 35 consultants achieved better results virtually than they had in any previous physical meeting.
