Offsite Innovative Thinking Retreats

“Today’s problems cannot be solved with the same thought processes that created them.”

    --Albert Einstein

“My goal was 1 minor invention every 10 days and 1 major invention every six months”.

    --Thomas Edison

Competitive firms and organizations have two highly valued characteristics: they are nimble and innovative.

Is your company equivalent to a big cruise ship that takes 2 miles to turn 30 degrees? Or is it equilvalent to a speedboat ready to turn 90 degrees on a dime?

Being nimble and innovative does not happen magically. A unique mindset far past strategic and continuous improvement is required.

Mark has created an offsite innovative thinking retreat that will:
››  Stretch the thinking patterns of your executives or upper level managers
››  Require you to use new tools to reverse many current linear thinking models designed to define and attack an on-going, unsolved problem in your company

How many thousands or millions of dollars would a toolbox of innovate thinking tools be worth to your company to define, dissect, analyze, and solve currently unsolved problems? These are problems ranging from human resources to lack of teamwork to lack of strategy on future investments.

This 8 hour retreat spans two half-day sessions. The agenda rolls-out with the first 4 hour session followed by a period of relaxation, which includes hiking, hunting, shooting skeet, fishing, mountain biking, or similar outdoor activities. The second 4 hour session rolls-out the following day focusing on both individual work and team collaboration with new thinking tools to redefine your current long-term challenges and produce new and previously unseen solutions.

A case study customized to your industry provides the catalyst to your new thinking methods.

At the conclusion, company executives will help formulate the tactics to take their new thinking tools back to their teams, train them, and infuse an innovative thinking environment within your company. This series of Future Steps will provide an accountability trail with target dates to ensure the new thinking tools begin to permeate all areas of your company.
