Think on your feet
Go from ‘left out’ to ‘sought out’
When business operates at a supersonic MACH 3 pace, we don't have the luxury of taking a few days to think of a solution, especially when someone else is gunning for your position.

On the fly, we need to be able to analyse a pressing problem, generate an insight, followed by fresh ideas and a strategy to execute. In short we need to be able to create rapid commercial solutions as fast as possible.

A powerful mental deck of quick practical processes to solve problems.

Now more than ever, innovative ideas are the currency for success. While we know innovation is valuable, it’s a sad fact that too many organisations just don’t know how to innovate.

The good news is no matter how time poor, or how crammed our heads might be with traditional business management skills, with Nils’ innovation techniques we can still find a way to bend time to our advantage and shake up our thinking patterns to start innovating.

We live in a rapidly evolving world that needs people to be adaptive and open to changing how they think. Rethinking business and life challenges, and who also the ability to think differently to create the ground breaking ideas that effect positive change.

Being able to ‘un-think' of how things used to be done and rethinking how things 'need' to be done in our evolving world are a must. In this session you will learn how to identify the habits and thinking that hamper your ability to contribute to game changing thinking and how to re-wire your mind in order to accelerate your success from thinking the unthinkable.

You'll learn:
- How to break your limiting habits and beliefs
- How to start rewiring what you thought was possible
