The way we think - The way we act
Key learnings:
- The challenge for leaders is to think and act differently
- The joy is to experience and feed their process – their successes and their challenges
- The dissemination process is to find ways of “talking to” the leaders in a time where they are facing maximum pressure from many angles
Key process elements:
- Combining Theory U whit innovative methods
- Cooperation between east and west – Denmark and Japan
- Innovative Thinking as a method
- Knowledge sharing - we have developed something we called Brain Dump Innovation
- Unfolding it in Denmark (Scandinavia) - make a different kind of leadership to grow
Success looks like:
We are now working whit this goal from many perspectives:
- Our biggest achievement until now is that we educate leaders in Innovative Leadership where we combine the two parts: Theory U and Innovative Thinking System. It is a very affirmative and educational experience. We do that in a cooperation whit a Danish University Collage called VIA.
- We are also unfolding U Days where we brings leaders into an U process during 24 hours. Ouer goal is to mix industries, gender, public and private companies and organizations.
- We want to put innovative thinking on the agenda even where it has not yet arrived
- We have just started a book project about the "Innovators DNA" (inspired by and in dialogue with a project at Harvard Business School)
Help needed:
We would like to hear about your experience with combining the U thinking whit methods and we would like to share ours.

Big idea:
The idea is to inspire, disturb and learn leaders that the big changes - the innovations - comes from the way we think and the way we act. By disturbing and inspiring we believe in a movement in the organizations and our goal is to combine the U thinking with methods in innovative thinking.
