There is no more business as usual! – Everything has changed, is changing, and will continue to change.
This 3-day intervention allows the participants to take a road less travelled, by challenging the executives to look beyond the established business boundaries and facilitate an open minded, creative exploration of new opportunities. This interaction offers an environment to allow the participants of the programme to breathe fresh air and explore realities outside the realm of mundane, incremental product extension exercises.
At the heart of the programme are approaches that facilitate creativity and brainstorming new ideas. These incorporate principles of design thinking and promote a design thinking mind-set, which is in contrast to an analytical mind-set. The difference between the two is that the former supports intuitive reasoning, while the latter follows the linear principles of traditional data driven planning and attempts to extrapolate the past in its effort to predict the future.
