What if your teams could unlock deeper clarity, alignment, and focus  before jumping into ideation mode? In this immersive, interactive session, participants will build the critical foundation for a successful innovation process by fully analyzing the challenge from multiple angles—broadening their thinking and elevating the quality of future solutions.

Through a  structured framework, participants will define their desired outcome, explore the opportunity from different perspectives, and understand the deeper value behind solving it. By applying situational context, participants will develop clearly focused “How Might We” questions, then use reframing lenses to refine the ultimate question that they look to solve for.

This is more than an exercise in framing —it's about building strategic awareness, removing ambiguity, and setting the stage for breakthrough outcomes, as the questions that are asked will have a profound impact on the range and quality of solutions discovered.
