Innovation Mindset

The world is changing rapidly on many levels. This is a challenge for established businesses but also provides great opportunities for  innovative approaches. By questioning our assumptions, we can start to  think differently about organisations, products, projects, business  models or customers. Most of what we do is based on questionable, and often plainly incorrect assumptions - by reframing these, we open up a large space to explore disruptive alternatives.

Why do you do what you do, and why do you think what you think in your work?  Are there underlying assumptions that you are not seeing?  Using the Reframing tool, you will learn to challenge cherished  assumptions and reframe these to design radically innovative approaches.

You will design an Innovation Experiment, based on these radical proposals, which you can immediately put into practice. it's all about changing the way you approach your work, your customers, your product and your business model. It's about taking a calculated risk, where you engage differently, which can lead to an outsize positive outcome.
