Keynote Topics

Actively shaping the future of your organization demands that you get out of your comfort zone.

The man who manufactured the best stagecoaches in the world died in total quality because, one day, the world stopped needing stagecoaches! Excelling is not Innovating. Renovating isn’t either!

If practically, your challenge is to invent the Future of your organization in this “shaky” period, you know that “linear” and “safe” Thinking is no longer enough. It can even be quite dangerous.

To  paraphrase Albert Einstein famous quote: “the significant problems we have cannot be solved by the same type of thinking that created them”.

In other words, we cannot solve 21st century issues with a 20th century Mindsets.We need is a “Revolution in Mind”.

True Innovation is the result of the profound transformation of Mindsets, of Thinking and of Perceptions. Imagination and Creativity are needed not only to discover new possibilities and create new products and services in the current paradigm, but to reinvent the paradigm within which we want to innovate.

Our core expertise is creating “Shift in Minds for Shift in Action”

All our approaches are conceived to engage and motivate individuals and groups of all sizes and types to make deep changes in the ways they see and think. Instead of leaving them trapped by old assumptions and thinking habits, these Shifts in Minds empower Innovation by allowing

  • to See and decode the World as it is and as it is becoming with new lenses
  • to understand a world that is still largely unknown
  • to Sense new opportunities and emerging needs
  • to Seize them creatively, develop and “prototype” new possibilities
  • to Act in new ways

As a result, they develop those vital creative capacities of seeing, thinking and doing differently which can be applied
to regenerate their thinking instead of reproducing the patterns of the Past

  • to unlock the Creativity and human ingenuity to jump to effective solutions
  • to base strategic actions on future possibilities and adopt  a “Feed-Forward” orientation to actively shape the Future
  • to create and drive entirely new Businesses, dramatically different Business models and radically improve existing ones
  • to develop more pertinent and more innovative ways of seeing and doing in order to generate better results in an uncertain world.
     
    This allows organisations to develop major, durable and hard-to-duplicate competitive advantages, i.e. the collective capacity to learn, to innovate and to reinvent itself at the required speed.
