Description

The increasingly complex environment in which we work requires different ways of thinking to uncover the hidden meaning within multiple, parallel interactions. Deep insight is the ability to discern the inner character of problems, see unlikely connections and recognize complex interactions. This means more than just new procedures, it means letting go of outdated models. Insight can be developed through the use of a unique cognitive skillset not traditionally taught in industry and very different from conventional logical frameworks. This session will teach methods of achieving insight that will improve learning, allow greater recognition of hidden patterns, transform your perspectives on skepticism and judgment, and dramatically improve clarity of complex information.
