About the project:
In spring of 2023, Snakke & Co. (then yellow ball) supported the Luxembourg Ministry of Environment in seven thematic workshops aimed at developing an internal vision for the future and facilitating the change process.
The participatory approach fostered exchange among working groups, strengthened goal-setting and mutual understanding, and promoted collaboration.
The Design Thinking-based formats included four half-day and three full-day workshops with 10–20 participants. The results included designed workshop formats as well as transcription and synthesis reports for each workshop.

Services provided – Participation and Co-Creation:

• Design and facilitation of a multi-part process comprising seven thematic workshops in half-day and full-day formats.
• Application of a design thinking approach to foster dialogue, shifts in perspective, and collaborative ideation.
• Methodological design of co-creation processes to pool professional expertise and internal perspectives.
• Facilitation of discussion sessions to strengthen mutual understanding and collaboration during times of change.

Results and Added Value:
The workshops highlighted key areas for action: raising awareness, improving communication, cross-departmental sustainability, enhancing data infrastructure, streamlining administrative processes, and strengthening internal cooperation. At the same time, a common understanding of key transformation issues within the ministry emerged.
In terms of content, qualitative needs became clear, such as a shift in attitudes and mindsets, the importance of positive incentives in nature conservation, more team building, and better national coordination of resources.
The added value of the process lay in the combination of structure, facilitation, and co-creation: perspectives were consolidated, priorities were refined, and the culture of internal cooperation was strengthened.
