“In 2025, analytical thinking, creativity, and flexibility will be among the most sought-after skills.”

Red Team Thinking offers a game-changing set of tools designed to enable you as an individual, and the organization you are working in to think more critically, plan more effectively, and make better decisions in today’s complex and rapidly changing world. Many of these techniques were originally developed by the military and intelligence agencies, then further evolved and ported to business. They have been tested on the battlefield and proven in the boardroom.

Red Team Thinking tools will help you to:

• Engage critical thinking
• Enable distributed decision making
• Encourage diversity of thought
• Identify and understand threats and opportunities
• Make better decisions faster in their complex world
• Develop “The Three Cs” – CLARITY, CAPABILITY, and CULTURE

 

Red Team Thinking is both a mindset and a set of tools. The tools are drawn from intelligence analysts and the research of cognitive psychologists and designed to challenge assumptions, pressure-test plans, surface alternative perspectives, generate new options, and ensure that the best ideas win.

 

Combine these tools with a Red Team Thinking mindset and you create real power. Adopting a Red Team Thinking mindset means taking nothing for granted, thinking the unthinkable, questioning the unquestionable, and being willing to challenge everything – not for the sake of argument, but to ensure that what you think is actually true. Because once you see clearly you can’t unsee it.

 

Red Team Thinking is both a science and an art. Red Team Thinking is rooted in cognitive science and the psychology of decision making. Each of us – no matter how smart, well-educated, or experienced we may be – are influenced by a dizzying array of cognitive biases and logical fallacies that skew our decision making and lead us in unintended directions without us even being aware of it.

 

Red Team Thinking not only makes us aware of these biases and fallacies, but also offers us a means of overcoming them. The art of Red Team Thinking lies in deciding which tools and techniques to use under which circumstances, and to know  when to stop using them and act.

 

Red Team Thinking is about embracing change. Red Team Thinking is predicated on the understanding that there is no end state for any company and no equilibrium in the marketplace. Change is the only constant. No matter how dominant or great an organization or business is today, the only way it can stay great is to continue to evolve.

 

During the workshop offered by Yourgrowth.Space you will be learning about some of the most critical yet basic thinking traps: biases, heuristics and logical fallacies. You will learn to detect them and how you can mitigate their influence. Additionally, you will walk away with knowledge and experience of how the powerful  tool "pre-mortem analysis" works and how it will enable you to failsafe personal and professional plans. 

 

Let's 'redteam' together!
