About Program

Making Innovation Fast and Effective!

The "Think Like a Genius" (TLG) Innovation Workshops are designed to accelerate innovation and problem solving in today's fast paced business environment. Through a process called "Metaphorming," teams of participants confront current business challenges through the creation and exploration of 5D symbolic models.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a model is worth a thousand pictures.

This innovative approach to problem solving will release the creative genius within your team, allowing participants to fully grasp business solutions that can truly transform the organization. TLG's proven record of success has helped some of the world's most successful companies -- IBM, Chevron, Chase, Home Depot, the World Economic Forum and many others - address their unique challenges and inspire innovative, game-changing thinking.
