ReThink

The Problem:

It's easy to keep things as they are, but when businesses fail to rethink their processes, they can encounter several significant problems:

◼ Customer dissatisfaction – failing to meet evolving customer expectations results in poor experiences and reduced loyalty.

◼ Employee disengagement – frustrated employees working with outdated processes may become less productive and leave.

◼ Inefficiency – outdated processes waste time, resources and increase costs. Inefficient processes are more prone to costly errors and defects.

◼ Decreased competitiveness – sticking to old methods, while competitors innovate, can lead to losing market share.

◼ Reduced quality – stagnant processes can lower product or service quality, harming reputation and sales.

◼ Missed opportunities – not updating processes can mean missing out on innovation, cost savings and growth.

◼ Financial losses – inefficiencies, errors and missed opportunities can lead to significant financial losses.

◼ Increased risk – outdated processes may not comply with new regulations, exposing the business to legal and financial risks.

The Solution:

Smart organisations adapt by reducing activity that is no longer necessary, reallocating effort and investment to create new ways of doing things that are more valuable. Rethinking how they work!

Rethinking is crucial for staying competitive and successful. As markets, technologies and customer expectations change, businesses must adapt – yet most don’t train their teams to be able to ReThink effectively.

ReThink is an impactful, 1 day workshop designed to harness the power of Lateral Thinking to achieve meaningful cost savings and uncover growth opportunities.

Three Lateral Thinking Tools:

We teach three Lateral Thinking tools on this workshop:

FOCUS

Where we focus our attention is important, it is only with hindsight that we can say that we had the "correct" definition of the situation. This module ensures you identify alternative definitions and starting points to ensure you don’t miss that breakthrough idea.

◼ Define and redefine the Focus.

◼ Generate and use a 'creative hit list'

CHALLENGE

Critical thinking is not enough. This module ensures success by making you challenge assumptions and proactively change them – even if there are no apparent problems.

◼ Appreciate the value of challenging the status quo.

◼ Constructively challenge situations and current thinking.

ALTERNATIVE/ CONCEPT EXTRACTION

We are often reactive in our thinking, not looking for alternatives. This module ensures that you stimulate your thinking by investigating that there may be more than one right answer.

◼ Explore all the possibilities contained within ideas.

◼ Enhance your creativity by proactively, looking beyond the obvious alternatives.

Initially the tools are practiced on topics that are not high stakes for you, this is so you focus on learning the tool and how to implement it. Then we will apply the tools to topics that are relevant to the organisation or team.
