90-minute virtual session
In a rapidly changing world, organisations need disruptive thinkers — people who can challenge assumptions, spot new opportunities, and drive innovation.
Disruptive thinking isn’t about being reckless; it’s about being courageous, creative, and strategic.
This practical session helps participants develop the mindset and skills needed to think differently, challenge the status quo, and create positive disruption in their roles and organisations.
Learning objectives
- Understand what disruptive thinking is (and isn’t)
- Recognise the value of challenging assumptions and conventional wisdom
- Explore techniques to stimulate creative and disruptive ideas
- Build confidence in questioning, experimenting, and taking calculated risks
- Develop an action plan to apply disruptive thinking in your role
