Business strategy will require a whole new way of thinking. When confronted with a challenge, most linear-thinking and also analytical business people resort to number-crunching, detailed analysis, and also look at tried and tested options - example, cost cutting to reduce prices to improve market share. This sometimes results in re-defining the problem, or ending up solving the wrong problem. The core challenge thereby remains undefined and also unmet in our usual race to simplify the problem and provide solutions. So what can we do?

- So, how do we build an IMAGINATION QUOTIENT? Italic
- By using "Design Thinking "as a Problem solving tool. Italic
This approach has its roots in Lateral thinking. It uses 'Abductive' thinking- which trains you to think of what is 'probable', through a process of holistic exploration.
It considers all possible viewpoints to arrive at a solution which is unique to the problem, sustainable, creates brand loyalty as it is customer-centric, and eventually is profitable. The 'Apple' example illustrates this fully - not only are their products customer-driven and futuristic, but their business strategy is in itself a unique revenue model.
Design Thinking
Empathise, Collaborate & INNOVATE- Unleash the power of creativityThe training program titled, “Empathise, Collaborate & INNOVATE- Unleash the power of creativity, is based on this ‘Design Thinking’ process.
Design Thinking is a thinking model that will begin its way from Strategy to Marketing to R&D, thus transforming your processes and igniting your Organisation Culture.
‘Design Thinking’ deploys deep user understanding , defining of probable problem, collaboration with multi disciplinary teams , visualization of ideas, rapid concept prototyping, testing and concurrent business analysis.
The use of this iterative process leads to innovation that is
- probable,
- technologically feasible
- And is financially viable.
The results benefit the lives of all stakeholders by creating experiences of the future which could be in any form; products, services, processes, events and even policies.
The use of this process builds “T-shaped” individuals. The vertical leg of the ‘T’ symbolises analytical thinking - overlaying the horizontal arm of the ‘T’, which symbolises intuitive, experimental, and empathetic thinking.
The training program comprises of modules covering topics like ‘Unleashing Innovation by Design thinking,’ ‘Triggers of Innovation’, ‘Tools of Innovation’ and ‘Building Innovation Culture in an organisation’.
