 OLDEN DAYS...
Working is a fast changing environment: the web
Need for new attitude and new values to share with our clients
A word that creates a framework for new mindset
The context made it necessary…
May you live in interesting times

And the word became flesh…

FOUR DIMENSIONS OF HYPERTHINKING
Existing in more than 3 dimensions
Above, beyond
Linked or arranged non-sequentially
Emotionally stimulated, overexcited
A paradigm shift can happen in a minute
What does this really mean?
LEARN TO UNDERSTAND YOUR PARADIGMS: WE ALL NEED TO LIVE WITH THEM, A KEY TO SURVIVAL
Learn to see when they are holding you back – things that you think are too difficult, impossible
Don’t be defined by your paradigm/don’t be emotionally attached to it – that is the only way to shift
DELIBERATELY SHIFT YOUR PARADIGM
Test it until it works!
"I think it is very important for you to do two things: act on your temporary conviction as if it was a real conviction; and when you realize that you are wrong, correct course very quickly.” Andy Grove
IMPOSSIBLE THINKING AS A METHODOLOGY
1. Understand the power and limits of mental models
2. Test the relevance of your mental models against the changing environment, generate new models and develop an integrated portfolio of models
4. Transform your world by acting quickly upon the new models, continuously experimenting and applying a process for assessing and strengthening your models
BACK TO SCHOOL
We need to embrace permanent learning - everyday!
WE NEED TO DELIVER ADDED VALUE THINKING!
That means coming up with more smart ideas than others faster
That means collaborating with our network so that we can do it
Creative execution comes from culture, synergies of the team and individual contributions
IT'S NOT ABOUT SITTING AROUND THE TABLE AND BRAINSTORMING, IT'S ABOUT CONSTANT INVESTIGATION AND TESTING OF SMART NEW IDEAS
INSIGHT
THE MIND IS A MUSCLE, IT NEEDS TO BE STRETCHED
You need to exercise to keep it fit
You need to practice different ways of thinking to be able to face different situations
