Implement co-development in your organization
Build internal capacity to facilitate co-development
Professional co-development (sometimes referred to as peer coaching) is a structured approach where real workplace challenges become opportunities for shared learning and practical action.
But without strong facilitation, the method quickly loses steam. With the Boostalab co-development toolkit, you equip internal resources to facilitate sessions with structure, confidence, and autonomy.
A complete approach that combines a facilitation toolkit, hands-on experience, a strong debrief process, and coaching when needed.
What is “Boostalab-style” co-development?
Inspired by the original methodology developed by Payette and Champagne, our approach follows six clear steps that guide conversations and help the group move toward concrete solutions.
The result: no unproductive debates and no off-the-cuff advice—just useful, actionable learning. And we go beyond the traditional workshop. Our approach also includes exclusive online training that helps teams sustain the practice over time.
We also offer a Boostalab Train-the-Trainer approach, with ready-to-use facilitation materials and practical, friendly support to help you build strong internal expertise.
Everything you need to facilitate with confidence
The co-development toolkit gives you a ready-to-use framework, including:
- A detailed session flow and facilitation guide
- Communication tools
- A facilitation skills self-assessment
- Support from our experienced facilitators
You benefit from turnkey guidance from an expert to help make your practice truly autonomous and effective.
You’re not starting from scratch—you’re starting from a proven structure.
From a fragile practice to strong internal capability
You want to run co-development internally… but there’s no shared approach, some people hesitate to facilitate, and conversations quickly drift toward unhelpful “you should…” advice. The practice lacks structure, relies on a single person (who may change roles), or depends on an external expert to keep things running. The result: a fragile initiative that’s difficult to sustain and even harder to grow.
With the Boostalab toolkit, your teams experience a complete model session, identify their strengths and watchpoints, and leave with a clear facilitation stance and a framework they can easily replicate. With coaching support when needed, they gain the confidence to facilitate sessions themselves.
Co-development becomes a true internal capability, not a fragile initiative.
Who is this toolkit for?
This toolkit is designed for organizations that want to build strong internal co-development capability and reduce their reliance on external consultants.
It’s especially relevant if:
- You have an HR or organizational development team
- You already facilitate meetings or communities of practice
- You want to structure an existing practice
