Stride4 it! to get there with the genius and creativity of your whole world-wide team
It just take a couple of brilliant innovative ideas to thrill your customers and to transform your business. And it just takes four simple steps to focus your teams to get there, again and again, by collaboration, stride4ing it.
At Stride4 Innovation Thrill (Stride4 it for short) we will show you how to innovate by collaboration with your best suppliers, your best customers, your expert in-house team and your specialist virtual teams. You will be thrilled by the simple focus of communication that stride4 universal innovation steps give…
Stride4it! … ST > R > I > DE …
Set Target > Reality > Ideas > Develop by Early Engagement.
These steps are to the point. And they are powerful in their simplicity.
You can use them to combine the core of many established and trusted techniques and so get fast team-working results.
For most of us in business, nothing is totally new these days, things just get better and more refined though new combinations to ultimately make things more usable and more desirable. That’s what Apple and many others have done. That’s what you can do that with your business team by stride4ing it… Who knows?.. You may just come up with something that is transformational in your business.
Stride4 is like de Bono’s ‘Six Thinking hats’ (but simplified and made easy to remember… four colours not six… ST > R > I > DE… each step is a different team thinking mode)
….combined with the ‘grow model’ (but with a more dynamic ‘going places’ name ~ Stride4 )
…combined with ’risk analysis and ‘design thinking’ (Using the positive highlighting of different team members personal perceptions in the ‘reality‘ step which is a ‘reality check’ step to thrash out new ways of looking at things),
…combined with brainstorming with mind-mapping (But with focussed exploration as in exploration on a creative journey with your team ‘stride4ing‘ it to get to your destination, your target, by creatively overcoming the obstacles addressed in your team’s realityresearch )
All in all, it’s focused creativity for solving challenges using the power of your full team and whoever they connect and stride4 with.
Used in the right way, stride4 is a design tool and a coaching tool all in one for 21st century business team inspiration.
Remember, there are all sorts of technologies and applications for team communications and you need to be looking at them and aware of their abilities. But the fundamentals of what is actually communicated and understood using these tools is more important! This especially applies to Email. Stride4ing can keep all your communications, by whatever means, on track. What Stride4 encompasses is a fundamental skill for the 21st Century.
Progress your team’s design thinking ability and transform them and yourself, to work with inspired focused productivity. We will show you how at stride4it.
