on INNOVATION ACCELERATION WORKSHOPS to HELP INSPIRE FRESH THINKING AND UNLOCK BREAKTHROUGH SOLUTIONS
Most leadership teams are full of smart, capable people who don't fully understand how their other colleagues think. The result: misaligned priorities, friction that nobody names, and solutions that never quite land.
Innovation requires connecting new dots. And it requires interplay, communication, and collaboration between people with vastly different ways of looking at the world.
In just one hour, INNOVATION ACCELERATION workshops leverage Basadur Profile findings to give teams a shared language to describe how each person approaches problems — where they naturally excel, where they need support, and how to combine diverse styles into something more powerful than the sum of its parts. An additional facilitated speed brainstorming session provides a real-time opportunity to apply learnings while exploring hand-picked topics that are relevant to the immediate needs of the organization.

The Basadur Profile is a deceptively simple diagnostic that empowers teams to better understand diverse thinking, leverage innate strengths, and improve collaboration. By revealing each individuals’ approach to problem solving — and uncovering collective blind spots — teams develop a common language to better understand and harness the full power of their capabilities.
It's not a personality test. It's a strategic tool that has been enlisted by numerous Fortune 100 companies including Procter & Gamble, Ford, Microsoft, and PepsiCo, empowering over 250,000 people to date.
Renowned organizational psychologist and innovation expert Min Basadur, PhD, developed his namesake profile to uncover leaders' superpowers and prompt breakthrough strategic conversations.
As one of a select group of practitioners trained directly by Dr. Basadur, REV's Managing Partner, Alma Derricks, weaves in insights from thirty years of senior executive experience leading global teams, advising Fortune 50 companies, and building iconic brands from the inside. She knows what it costs when a leadership team can't harness its full range of thinking — and what becomes possible when it can.
The Basadur Profile's problem-solving styles map seamlessly to the four stages of any project and can be used to empower teams to generate more creative, effective, and well-rounded solutions:
GENERATORS excel at producing a large quantity of ideas and possibilities. They are imaginative and thrive in brainstorming sessions but may find it difficult to organize and evaluate ideas.
CONCEPTUALIZERS are skilled at pattern recognition, problem definition, and designing solutions. They are logical thinkers who enjoy creating frameworks and models but may struggle to refine and articulate operational roadmaps.
OPTIMIZERS focus on 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 organizing, managing, 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.
