You Have The Protocol – Now Here Is How To Run It With A Room

The Strike Engine is built for individual execution – one practitioner, one contained intervention, one documented result.

But some of you are not working alone.

You are leading delivery teams, coaching groups of practitioners, or sitting inside programs where the most valuable thing you can do is move a room from shared diagnosis to agreed intervention design – in a single session, without losing the political discipline that makes the individual protocol work.

The Anti-Theater Audit Workshop Slide Deck Pack was built for exactly that situation.

This is the Strike Engine applied to a group setting

Not a generic facilitation kit. A deployment mechanism. A direct translation of the Strike Engine methodology into a 90-minute group session – same diagnostic framework, same intervention design discipline, same containment logic – structured for a room of four to twelve participants and ready to run without hours of preparation.

The room
leaves with a
signed Strike Contract,
two baselines,
and a 14-day
proof cycle.

What Is Inside

This is the Strike Engine applied
to a group setting.

Workshop Deck – Branded (.pptx)

Structured across five phases – framing the session, pattern scoring, clustering and heatmap, intervention design, and close. Every slide contains speaker notes and timing guidance. The session runs in 90 minutes without facilitation experience beyond basic group management.

Workshop Deck – White Label (.pptx)

Identical session structure with all Samurai of Change branding removed. For internal practitioners who need to present the session as their own work inside their organisation – without external branding creating friction in the room.

Participant Worksheet (PDF – print-ready)

One printable page per participant. Covers pattern scoring across all twelve patterns, Top 3 Cut List, First Strike Filter, Strike Design, and Strike Contract. Follows the session sequence exactly – participants work through it in real time alongside the slides.

Facilitator Cheat Sheet (PDF – print-ready) 

Covers the full 90-minute timing breakdown, how to neutralize the three most common forms of defensiveness, what to do when Level 3 patterns dominate the scoring, and specific moves for forcing decisions when the group stalls.

What The Session Produces

At Day 14, this produces:

A Proof Artifact – one-page documented result for the group intervention.

The room leaves with:

  • One contained intervention selected from shared diagnostic scoring

  • Two metrics with baselines captured before Day 1

  • A pre-committed decision rule – Continue / Adjust / Stop

  • A signed 14-day Strike Contract with a named owner

  • A confirmed Day 14 review date before anyone leaves

Not a roadmap.

Not a backlog.

Not a list of actions nobody owns.

A contract

A baseline

A proof cycle

Produced in 90 minutes. Politically safe.

No structural redesign required.

Who It Is For

This pack is for practitioners who have completed at least one solo strike and are ready to bring the methodology into a group context.

It is designed for:

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to have completed the Strike Engine before using this pack? 
Yes. This pack is designed for practitioners who understand the Strike Engine methodology and are ready to facilitate it with a group. It is not a standalone product – it is a direct translation of the protocol into a group facilitation format.

How many participants does the session accommodate? 
Four to twelve participants. Below four the clustering exercise loses signal. Above twelve the session becomes difficult to contain within 90 minutes.

Can I use this with an external client? 
Yes. The session is designed to be politically safe – it focuses on observable behavior and contained intervention, not structural criticism or leadership assessment. It has been designed specifically for use inside politically complex environments.

Do I need specialist facilitation experience? 
The Facilitator Cheat Sheet covers the most common failure modes and exactly how to handle them. Practitioners with basic facilitation experience will find the session straightforward to run. The discipline is in the structure, not the facilitator.

What if the group's top patterns are all Level 3? 
The Facilitator Cheat Sheet covers this directly. The session has a specific sequence for redirecting Level 3 dominance toward the local behavioral contribution – identifying a Level 1 or Level 2 feeder pattern that can be struck within mandate. Level 3 patterns go into the Evidence Portfolio. They do not become the strike target.

What is the difference between this and the Strike Toolkit? 
The Strike Toolkit is a live execution support tool for individual practitioners – scripts for the moments when a conversation pushes back during your own strike. The Workshop Deck is a facilitation kit for running the Anti-Theater Audit as a group session. They serve different moments in the practitioner journey and work well together.

What is the difference between the Branded and White Label versions? 
The Branded version carries the Samurai of Change visual identity – use this when you are running the session as an external practitioner bringing an established methodology into the room. The White Label version has all branding removed – use this when you are an internal practitioner who needs to present the session as your own work without external branding creating questions about mandate or methodology ownership.
