It seems as if the proposal of a "new quality of thinking" had been in hiding all this time, just waiting for the era of information technology to show its face. Until very recently, proposing someone a process that would teach them how to think would very easily be taken as an insult. The interlocutor of the 21st century, however, is able to understand that such proposal does not question the quality of his "hardware", but its "configuration". In other words, admitting that thinking can offer better results when you learn to do it deliberate and methodologically isn't so hard nowadays.
As a matter of fact, this proposal of a "new quality of thinking" does not mean that the interlocutor needs or has to change his or her thoughts. The aim here is to obtain a new quality in the processes of thinking. A thought is the product; thinking is the operation through which intelligence puts its whole "tool kit" of attitudes and processes to work.
The internalization of creategical thinking is the start-up of an infinite journey of self-discoveries. We list below some of the results that can be obtained with Creategics as a methodological integration of thinking:
- the easier shift of paradigms and the sharpening of the alert degree for the changes of scenario;
- a more productive way of dealing with surprises, challenges and visions, either at personal, professional or organizational levels.
- new instruments of thinking, able to grant more confidence for risk managing;
- the exchange of the "fear of thinking" for the confidence in your own ability to process challenges and solve problems;
- the demystification of the art of diagnosis and the optimization of decision-making abilities;
- more productive team work, by becoming more flexible and a better listener;
- an "ecological" action in any given transformations, that is, move around as much as necessary and perform all the needed changes without breaking the china;
- becoming a fast-thinking expert in surprising and creating opportunities, setting the decision-maker free from the passivity of waiting for the Idea;
- the wipe-out of the hesitations that freeze your intelligence and widen the range of ways out of deadlocks and unpredicted events;
- the development of abilities for the creation of new solutions, granting the decision-maker with the satisfaction of a "chef de cuisine", able to build his or her own solutions independently from old-fashioned and outdated recipe books;
- making dreams come true more frequently and more competently, levering decisions to actions;
- making the decision-maker a keener observer and even an explorer of the already known, a better player of the game of permanent apprenticeship, the sport in which winning means finding yourself learning with whatever experiences at any time, inside or outside classroom or any given walls;
Users of this new methodology or quality are empowered to generate infinite "thinking configurations", that:
- dare to radically reinterpret a given challenge;
- dig for the object hidden behind the foolish illusion of unanimity;
- are able to decodify new information even in the already known;
- enable the decision-maker to diagnose the problem as "the" tactic way;
- turn idea generation into something as natural as breathing;
- transfer the solution from the outside Truth Zone to inside the mind of the decision-maker, where it can be properly built;
- make the implementation of actions a creative and strategic sport.
"What will I learn in the Creategics course?"
- You will learn the methodology of creategical thinking, featuring:
- The "way" of thinking that makes processing really strategic.
- The strategic framework that you can refer to in any situation.
- The heuristic bet.
- Setting yourself free from the blinding worship of the Only Way and the paradigm of the Right Way.
- You will learn transformative thinking in a very practical way:
- Ecology for creative thinking.
- How to "stretch" thinking: divergence-and-convergence.
- Linguistic keys to process information and experiences.
- The courses at ILACE set up an environment where you can learn to deal with the current ideological system in our culture, that is, the attitudes that mobilize or demobilize thinking. Putting such concepts to practice makes their user more and more autonomous, both as a user and as a manager. Allow us to stress that out again, at risk of being repetitive or obvious: autonomy comes as a result of practice.
It is important to highlight that what we offer is the learning of processes rather than theoretical content, although such processes are deeply rooted in the most consistent application of the sciences of thinking. Effective and pleasant, according to former participants.
Ever since learning phase, users of our methodology will, by figuring out the invincibility of thinking, have reinforced the feeling of power that levers explorers and leaders.
Who can profit from these achievements?
Decision-makers in all stages. Managers in companies and institutions. Leaders that have figured out that something has changed and that the new challenges, instead of threats, are actually the fertile soil where the seeds of opportunity can be sown.
