Problem Reframing (Framestorming, First Principles)

Framestorming addresses the issue that even great solutions can be irrelevant if the problem isn't properly defined. It emphasizes reframing the problem through multiple perspectives to ensure a comprehensive understanding. This method prevents settling for obvious answers too quickly, paving the way for more innovative and relevant solutions by accurately pinpointing the real issue at hand.

First Principles thinking addresses the barriers of assuming some problems are unsolvable or constraints are fixed. By reducing issues to their foundational elements, it challenges assumptions and opens new avenues for innovation, leading to unique solutions beyond perceived limitations.

Shadow Mentoring

A strong way to learn a methodology is to jump right in and start applying it. In Shadow Mentoring, we dive into your project and apply the methodology in real-time. Your team members are then coached on how to take the lead. This approach is particularly helpful when you want to apply a methodology to a project immediately and by the end, have built up the skills to continue on your own. Depending on which skills you are building, this may mean that we start out by spending a lot of time with your team and gradually pull back, until we are just available for remote support questions.

Training Workshops

We are glad to organize training in a workshop format. This can be done either at your facility or an external location that is convenient for your team. Depending on your needs, we can combine various training topics to address broader requirements. Our workshops are very hands-on. You won’t just be listening and taking notes; instead, you will be actively involved in experiencing the process.

Group Size

We recommend a group of at least 4 people for our workshops. The interaction that happens between colleagues is a very important part of the learning process. Similarly, we have a maximum group size of 10 people to provide enough individual attention and ensure effective learning.

Learning Material

Each training session includes materials that explain the methodologies taught in the course. This reduces the need for note-taking during the class and serves as a reference for future applications of the methodology.
