The Acceleration Consultancy

Disruptive Times demand
disruptive thinking!

Think ahead, think differently, move faster

Organisations accelerate change faster when they make sense of the future, ignite innovation and sprint towards agility, fuelled by a disruptive mindset and licence to think. 

Navigate disruption

ARE YOU READY TO GET ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF DISRUPTION?

Climate change. Geopolitical conflict. AI. Disruption is reshaping your industry from every angle, it can be bewildering. 

 

  • Are you unsure how to combat declining revenue streams?

  • Are you losing out to competitors with fresher ideas while your own innovation efforts come up empty?

  • Is your organisation too slow to respond to change or seize emerging opportunities?
     

You’re not alone. Many organisations today are stuck in the same situation. But while some wait for the mist to clear before acting, others are already braving the unknown.

 

By engaging proactively with these disruptive shifts, you will:

 

  • Stay relevant and grow  with new business models, products and services

  • Reduce strategic uncertainty and respond faster to market shifts 

  • Develop an agile, innovation culture that gets results fast and leverages your strengths for competitive advantage

Your guide on the acceleration journey 

We are Disruptive Mindset – the acceleration consultancy for organisations that want to create win-wins for people, planet and profit.

 

We’re an experienced guide for management teams like yours. Through a programme of strategic conversations, collaborative workshops and agile validation, we give your team licence to think  bigger, wider and further. We equip you to see the future with fresh vision and push the boundaries to go further and faster than you thought possible in order to:

​

​1. Make sense of the future

2. Ignite innovation

3. Sprint towards agility ​​

The world looks increasingly unpredictable. Yet the future may be less random than it appears. History has a habit of rhyming. Human emotions, egos and the pursuit of power follow enduring patterns. Deep-rooted beliefs and philosophies shape the currents that move societies and nations.

 

When geopolitical, economic, environmental, technological and social forces collide, and the strategic context changes week by week, leadership teams need to rise above the maze, get a bird's eye view and jettison familiar ways of thinking.

​

We’ll challenge you to think differently about who you are and who you could be, imagine possible future scenarios and their implications, and stress-test your organisation to spotlight vulnerabilities and opportunities for innovation.

 

The outcome - Unshakeable alignment and crystal clarity on how to accelerate towards breakthrough results.

Make sense of the future
Ignite innovation
A giraffe turns into an elephant. It depicts innovation strategy and digital disruption.

Innovation is tough. Conventional brainstorming often fails to deliver the breakthroughs organisations need.
 

That’s why we created Responsive Strategic Play, our proprietary innovation methodology. With people, planet and profit at the heart of the brief, it harnesses the power of questioning, design thinking and story telling to challenge assumptions, ignite creativity and illuminate new pathways.

Hungry for concepts with transformational potential? It's time to start hunting for game-changing ideas! 

​

Sprint towards agility

Perhaps your organisation has become a monument to its own history, weighed down by rigidity and held together by legacy processes. But deep down, it's fed up with being an edifice. It wants to break free and rediscover the thrill of moving at speed.

​

The answer is agility:

  • Sprinting faster to understand: what resonates with your target, the commercial viability of your proposition and user engagement with your fast prototypes. Then refining your approach as you test and learn.

  • Making rapid progress towards: quantifying revenue streams, building business plans and defining go-to-market options.
     

And suddenly, the countdown to launch starts!
 

BUT:
 

  • Do cumbersome processes, slow decision-making, organisational silos and a reluctance to challenge established ways of working stand in the way? Your people know where the organisation is creaking. Let them pinpoint the stiffness, loosen the joints and lace up those running shoes – with curiosity, experimentation and a willingness to adapt.
     

Speed is competitive advantage. We'll coach your organisation to get off its pedestal, hit the track and build the agility to accelerate ahead of the competition!
