Overview
What you will study
In the Breakthrough Approach to Creative Problem Solving, Innovation, and Change course offered by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) , Hal Gregersen delivers unique insights into the behaviors of extraordinary leaders and the unique conditions they created at work and in life to ask catalytic, game-changing questions.
Come ready to make progress on a real challenge you face and leave prepared to lay the foundation for truly catalytic questions to fuel greater success at work, and perhaps in life.
- Course discussions and practical applications draw on interviews with several hundred business leaders during the past decade, including research studies conducted specifically for Gregersen’s newest book, Questions Are the Answer: A Breakthrough Approach to Your Most Vexing Problems at Work and in Life
- Through engaging discussion and active challenge-driven exercises, you will learn conceptual frameworks and behavioral habits for cultivating an inquiry-driven approach to leadership and life
- The presented methodologies will also help you overcome the natural challenges of isolation as a senior leader and help you uncover your greatest blind spots
- Drawing from the successful approaches of companies like Amazon, ASOS, Patagonia, Pixar, and Zappos, you will learn how to create the special conditions for curiosity, inquiry, and “creative friction” to thrive and to fuel productive change in your organization
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- How to create the unique conditions for catalytic questioning to cause radical shifts in beliefs and behaviors
- What behavioral approaches can open a window onto “things you don’t know you don’t know” – the blind spot of any leader
- How to generate greater individual and organizational value from uncomfortable, assumption-challenging experiences
- How to become more reflectively quiet and engage the “power of the pause” more often at work and in life
- Where, when, and how change-focused CEOs and innovators disrupt and transform their industries by leveraging their questioning capital—a track record of seizing on catalytic questions and seeing them through to impact
