BMet College, Birmingham - Driving Innovation and Inclusion:
Carolyn recently delivered an outstanding Design Thinking session to twenty-six of our executive and senior leaders, focusing on innovation, intrapreneurship, and inclusion. The overwhelmingly positive response from participants—evidenced by glowing survey feedback—highlighted the immense value of this dynamic and solutions-oriented experience.
The session's impact has been significant. Many of the projects initiated during the workshop have been developed further and are now being implemented, driving real change and innovation across the college. Carolyn's use of the proven Design Thinking methodology was truly unique, offering a fast-paced yet highly effective approach to problem-solving that energised the entire team.
What stood out most was Carolyn's facilitation style. Her energy, inclusivity, and ability to create an engaging and collaborative environment made a complex process feel accessible and exciting for everyone involved. This approach perfectly aligns with our college's strategies around equity, inclusion and building high-performing teams, further enhancing its relevance and impact.
I would highly recommend Carolyn at Just Horizons to any organisation looking to foster innovation, develop effective solutions, and inspire their teams. Her expertise, dynamic leadership, and results-driven approach make them a standout choice for driving meaningful transformation.

Following the success of Carolyn's Design Thinking session with our senior leadership team, we were delighted to invite her back to deliver two large-scale workshops in October for 120 of our department and curriculum leads. These sessions were impressive and impactful, providing our staff with the tools and inspiration to drive innovation and develop practical, real-world solutions.
Carolyn demonstrated remarkable expertise in managing and leading such large groups through the Design Thinking process. Despite the scale of the workshops, her dynamic energy, inclusive facilitation style, and ability to engage every participant ensured that the sessions were both impactful and enjoyable.
The outcomes speak for themselves: the innovative ideas generated during these sessions have already led to actionable solutions, many of which are being developed and implemented across the college. Survey feedback from participants was overwhelmingly positive, underscoring the value of Carolyn's unique approach and her ability to deliver results.
I highly recommend Carolyn at Just Horizons to any organisation looking to foster innovation, inspire teams, and drive meaningful change. Her expertise, enthusiasm, and proven methodology make Carolyn / Just Horizons an outstanding choice for facilitating large-scale, results-driven workshops.
