What is a Pioneer Thinking™Programme?
Pioneer Thinking™ is a programme focused on helping your organisation to discover new creative solutions to future business growth and profit leading to long term behavioural and cultural changes.
Incorporating well founded team thinking and business models the programme is based on a series of consultative meetings designed to identify and harness the ‘thinking power’ within the organisation. We then work with this ‘thinking power’ to challenge your current thinking, propositions and operations.
Having challenged the ‘here and now’ the Competitive ADDvantage™
team then help and support you to create a new set of strategic outcomes along with a project journey map and action framework designed to implement the new solutions. This is achieved via a series of focused workshops.
