FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions About the Disruptive Thinking Training
Disruptive thinking means consciously questioning existing assumptions, processes, and business models and seeking fundamentally new solutions. It is not about doing away with every tried-and-true approach. Rather, you learn to recognize opportunities for fundamental improvements and new possibilities.
No. Disruptive thinking is relevant in many areas—such as management, product development, customer service, processes, digital transformation, and organizational development. The exchange of ideas between different departments is particularly valuable because it gives rise to new perspectives and unexpected solutions.
You’ll learn methods for broadening your perspective, generating ideas, and breaking out of patterns. These include, for example, analogies, provocative questions, “What if?” scenarios, Design Thinking, Scrum, and Kanban. The methods are not only explained but also applied to specific challenges.
An idea becomes tangible through clearly defined target audiences, assumptions about its benefits, and initial testing. In this training, you’ll learn how to structure ideas, develop prototypes, and validate them through feedback. This will allow you to identify early on which approaches have potential and which should be adapted or discarded.
AI can assist with research, shifting perspectives, developing ideas, and creating scenarios. At the same time, the limitations and risks of AI-generated suggestions are critically examined. The goal is to use AI as a creative tool without relinquishing one’s own judgment and responsibility.
Resistance often stems from uncertainty, a lack of information, or concerns about negative consequences. In this training, you’ll learn to take concerns seriously, involve stakeholders early on, and clearly communicate the benefits of new approaches. Small experiments can help build trust and demonstrate initial results.
Yes. Your own topics, processes, or innovation-related questions can be incorporated into the exercises. With in-house formats, the training can be tailored specifically to your organization and current change initiatives. This allows you to develop ideas and next steps that are directly relevant to your needs.
