Brainstorming
HIGH VELOCITY BRAINSTORMING
When you boil it down, there are pretty much two ways to get business done:
- Be a mad genius working alone in a mountaintop business lab, or
- Put together a team of brilliant individuals and get them to think like a single mad genius working alone in a mountaintop business lab
If you’re reading this, you’re probably trying to make a home in Category 2. The group is obviously the most common business arrangement. But if it’s so common, then why does one of the most common group activities ““ BRAINSTORMING ““ frequently feel like such a stomach-churning ride? And why does that ride so rarely take you where you want to go?
Shouldn’t co-thinking sessions be productive? Invigorating? Affirmational? And ““ brace yourself ““ fun?
The Acts of Balance workshop HIGH VELOCITY BRAINSTORMING is designed to help you break through the results ceiling that turns most brainstorming sessions into deflating exercises that produce lots of words but little inspiration.
When you and your group participate in a HIGH VELOCITY BRAINSTORMING session, you get a masterfully orchestrated and conducted creative thinking encounter that will feel unlike any group-think you’ve ever experienced.
The process starts well before the session does.
HIGH VELOCITY BRAINSTORMING is a multi-step course that begins with PROBLEM DEFINITION ““ a combination of interviews, investigation and research that helps us nail down the real questions you’re trying to answer.
We then CUSTOM DESIGN the setting to your specific group, goals and culture. Off-site or on, morning or afternoon, casual or rigorous ““ we’ll pick a site, tone and tempo that will maximize your results.
During the session we’ll provide expert facilitation that’s sharply focused, results oriented and ““ just as important ““ emotionless. Our goal is to keep the session moving along while remaining sensitive to the moments when breakthroughs occur.
After the session you’ll be issued a BRAINSTORM REPORT that will summarize the results in plain language ““ and point out the key moments that got you there. And we’ll follow up in any way that can help ““ another session, a sub-group phone call … we’re here to make sure your Brainstorm results are maximized in every sense of the term.
HIGH VELOCITY BRAINSTORMING will turn your team of individuals into a strong, lean single-minded thinking machine.
