Think Differently

Why?

The world is changing rapidly and profoundly. Individually and collectively, personally and professionally, we also need to change - and quickly - if we want to be part of shaping the future. Otherwise, we will simply be left behind.

What?

We help individuals, teams and groups leverage the astonishing power of our evolutionary developed brains to see the world and ourselves differently. Thereby, opening up new solutions and possibilities for action.

How?

We introduce simple 'anytime/ anyplace' brain-based tools and techniques to help people understand, manage and change the way they experience and interact with the world. They are micro-tools with macro-impact.

For Whom?

We offer training and coaching to individuals, leaders, teams and organisations from business, civil society and government/ public sector. We work with those who seek to create a better future for all of us.

what you get

By working with Unconscious Innovation you get to explore simple and highly practical techniques (see Tools and Approach) to leverage the power of your astonishing brain – the result of billions of years of the evolution of life – to thrive in the face of a changing world. Why? Because, building on core concepts of modern neuroscience about the workings of the brain, we can understand how and why our brains react in certain ways. Understanding this, enables us to be aware of and ‘hack into’ the natural underlying biological processes as to how our brains work, ensuring that we work with our brains rather than against them!

We believe in simplicity (though not over-simplification!) in the face of complexity. As such, we do not seek to replace your existing organisational change management, innovation or performance frameworks with new and time-consuming processes. Rather, we seek to enrich and amplify your ambitions by providing powerful tools and techniques which give you access to new ways of thinking and to open up additional possibilities and choices.

For example, maybe you are going through an organisational change process and it is just not producing the newness and freshness that it promised. Understanding how the evolutionary brain processes the past, present and future (and how to change it) might well be more effective than simply labelling people as ‘resistant to change’. Or if you are focused or driven solely by day-to-day tasks, you might find it difficult to step back and look at the bigger picture or think strategically about the future. Understanding how the brain is in quite different modes when it is focused (seeing the tree) and more expansive (seeing the forest) and learning to switch quickly between them can open up enormous new opportunities. In this way, thinking strategically can become integrated into the everyday, rather than be assigned to the occasional retreat or away day.

There are plenty of excellent books about the astonishing insights that modern cognitive neuroscience is gaining about the brain. There are also many training courses around creativity, future planning, stress reduction, etc. But our approach really is unique in that it makes complex, seemingly abstract key insights from neuroscience highly practical for everyday use. It also locates tools and techniques within a clear understanding of the underlying mechanisms as to how and why they work. It really is a unique mix of the conceptual and the practical, because if we really want change then we need both.

As the focus is at the metacognition level (the underlying processes and principles behind perception, cognition and action selection), the benefits are extremely wide-ranging and inherently transferable. Since it is always the same brain we use, this means that the the tools and techniques can be applied to pretty much anything, whether it be innovation, leading change, creativity, design, scientific research, futures scanning, communication, leadership, organisational development or stress reduction (see Services and Events).That’s because these issues actually have much more in common than it might seem at first glance; namely, the need for cognitive flexibility. If practiced and actually used, the tools and techniques really are that powerful.

Importantly, the tools and techniques are highly enjoyable, as they not only allow participants to develop professionally, but also to understand important things about themselves and the way they perceive and understand the world (hint: it is much, much more flexible and malleable than we like to believe!). The tools and techniques are also often highly surprising both in how simple and obvious many of them are when you think about it. Armed with the right tools, thinking about the future can be transformed into an exciting, if unpredictable, adventure.

You bring the subject expertise and area on which you want to focus. We bring the tools and techniques you can apply to think differently and innovate.
