How Serious Insights Agile Thinking Workshops Can Unleash Your Team’s Creativity

Our Agile Thinking Workshops engage managers, senior leaders and high-potential individuals in exploring how their mental models constrain creativity, vision and innovation. Attendees gain an understanding of scenario planning and apply scenario-based futures to real work so they can personally experience the discovery of potential opportunities and better assess threats under different social, economic, political, and technological circumstances. Let Dan bring this compact version of his University of Washington learning experience to your leaders so they can start navigating uncertainty more effectively.

• Challenge Assumptions
  Every one of us makes assumptions about the future. We tell ourselves stories about the future that influence our work. This workshop exposes those assumptions. It gives attendees the tools for planning under uncertainty and approaches for better navigating the future.
• Explore the Future
  Most people have not been taught how to think about the future robustly. This workshop teaches the attendees how to use scenarios to better inform their options and their choices.
• Learn to Embrace Uncertainty
  Too often, uncertainty is perceived as a threat. Uncertainty is just a fact. We can put a name on it and describe its dimensions. By embracing uncertainty, it stops being seen as a threat and becomes a tool for insight.
• Make it Personal
  Every attendee of the Agile Thinking Workshop receives a personal Agile Thinking Worksheet that helps them explore how they will apply their new skills to their life and careers.
