Turn months of alignment into days

Planet Collaboration is built on one principle: people own and love what they help to create. We design and run the high-impact events that make that happen, grounded in the proven MGTaylor™ DesignShop and Accelerated Solutions Environment (ASE) methodologies.

Paul Twiney

, Founder

When enterprise transformation stalls due to cultural resistance or uncertainty, you don't need another standard meeting. You need an intervention.

At Planet Collaboration, I bring 25 years of expertise to design workshops and off-sites that force breakthroughs. Where needed, I hand-pick a team from my global associate network to meet your exact challenge.

The result? You get lean, high-impact collaboration that accelerates and de-risks your most critical work programmes.

Right now, that often means helping leadership teams make sense of AI and agentic change. Failure is almost never the tech, and almost always adoption.

The AI question

The AI question every leadership team is facing

AI and agentic tools are reshaping how work gets done but most AI initiatives stall on adoption, not technology. Our AI Sensemaker sessions get your leaders and their teams to a shared, honest view of what to adopt, what to change, and how to bring people with them.

We achieved in a couple of days what could easily have taken months.
