Strategic Mastermind SessionsTM
your business goals and what design delivers?
A lack of clear goals is the most common factor (37%) behind project failure, according to executive leaders.

There is a close relationship between the business case and design, being synergetic and like a partnership. However instead of taking them as closely bonded and complementary, most often they are attempted in isolation and therefore are misaligned. The answer lies in having a common language and a vision shared by both domains.
The ‘Game Changer’ step critical for achieving outcomes
The first step before starting a project is to build critical foundation. The critical foundation consists of well defined goals, clear objectives, specific and detailed needs, understand target users and jobs to be done, and more, which creates a baseline for further strategies. In most cases, organisations rush into the design phase without clearly establishing their goals and realise it later when it's already too late.
This is why Strategic Mastermind Sessions™ were created.
It is built on a framework that focuses on the big picture and targets what really matters. Just like how a doctor would diagnose before he treats, Strategic Mastermind finds the real problem and understand synergies to holistically align all that impacts a project.
In other words, sessions lead to finding the right course with a 360-degree integration, bringing in a collective vision, creating a “go forward strategy”.
Inside the Session?
Strategic Mastermind is highly interactive, activities packed and structured sessions taking any where from 4 hours two days. Various phases undergone includes discovery, diagnosis, analysis, brainstorming, and strategy.
Strategic Mastermind is all about creating a holistic outlook and essential insights, to find what matters and develop the Blue-grid™ for particular case. Using inputs from each stakeholder who knows their part well, waiting to be pieced together like a puzzle, Mastermind session uses various exercise to dig out deep subconscious knowledge and map the findings. It’s like finding deep cause rather than getting mixed up with just symptom.

Using Six dimensional matrix system developed by Creators Architects, every aspect is looks at as a part of whole. This leads to linking of each discovery or decision with the big picture and define its Blue-grid™.
The result is strategic design roadmap that interrelates and coordinates seamlessly with the overall vision.
