Though DESC is a new company, our roots extend back to the early days of facilitation techniques. Our founder began by using OpenSpace techniques to foster community projects in our local area. Systems such as Creative Cafe and OpenSpace, known for their emphasis on self-organisation and collaboration, laid the groundwork for today’s modern methods.

Over the decades, we have seen the evolution of ideation, voting, and collaborative decision-making techniques. These methods have matured into transformative systems that can improve problem-solving in any industry.

Our founder, a certified UK Behaviour Analyst (UKBA), has spent decades creating environments of Psychological Safety. This expertise directly informs our facilitation approach, ensuring that every voice is heard and valued. Team members experience emotional harmony with the outcomes.

At DESC, we believe understanding human behavior is key to effective decision-making. Our focus on people, rather than industry specific knowledge, allows us to apply our techniques to diverse challenges. We run facilitated workshops in any industry without needing specific industry knowledge, as the principles of human collaboration and effective decision-making are universal.
