on INNOVATION ACCELERATION WORKSHOPS to HELP INSPIRE FRESH THINKING AND UNLOCK BREAKTHROUGH SOLUTIONS
Innovation requires connecting new dots. And it requires interplay, communication, and collaboration between people with vastly different ways of looking at the world.
Optimized for both virtual/hybrid and in-person working groups, customized INNOVATION ACCELERATION workshops introduce the fundamentals of "internal entrepreneurship" in established organizations, leverage Basadur Profile findings to explain the implications of individual problem-solving styles in a team setting, and provide a real-time opportunity to apply learnings in a facilitated brainstorming session featuring hand-picked topics that are relevant to the immediate needs of the organization.

The Basadur Profile assesses how individuals approach problem solving and empowers teams to better understand diverse thinking, leverage innate strengths, and improve collaboration.
Based on 40 years of organizational psychological research by innovation expert Min Basadur, PhD., the profile has been enlisted by an array of organizations and Fortune 100 companies including Procter & Gamble, Ford, and Pepsico and completed by over 150,000 people to date.
The personalized diagnostic assesses an individual's problem-solving preferences to help illuminate their dominant style(s) as well as their associated strengths and weaknesses. The four styles map seamlessly to the four stages of any project and can be used to empower diverse teams to create more creative, effective and well-rounded solutions:
GENERATORS excel at producing a large quantity of ideas and possibilities. They are imaginative and thrive on brainstorming sessions but may find it difficult to organize and evaluate ideas.
CONCEPTUALIZERS focus on analyzing problems, developing concepts, and designing solutions. They are logical thinkers who enjoy creating frameworks and models but may struggle to refine and articulate operational roadmaps.
OPTIMIZERS are skilled at evaluating and refining ideas to make them more effective. They excel at critical analysis, feasibility assessment, and detailed planning but may find it challenging to incorporate or embrace alternative viewpoints.
IMPLEMENTERS are action-oriented and enjoy turning ideas into tangible results. They are skilled at planning, organizing, and executing projects but may struggle to adapt to rapidly changing circumstances.
INDIVIDUAL PROFILES identify problem solving strengths and highlight development opportunities
TEAM COMPOSITES combine multiple profiles into a single view to illuminate synergies and potential conflicts
Presented as a central element of our annual staff leadership retreat, the workshop was engaging, practical, and very well-received. Coupled with REV's innovation insights, the Basadur Profile's highly intuitive and easy-to-understand findings gave us a fresh understanding of individual behaviors and team dynamics and significantly accelerated the productivity of our strategic planning session. We continue to reference key concepts in our day-to-day work.
