Challenge the Challenge Drill

Embrace your inner teen.

Use when you want to encourage, build, and grow a culture that questions the way things are.

You’ve identified a problem and you’ve crafted a challenge statement that clearly states what you want to accomplish), the approach, mindset, or values that you want to apply, and the big impact you want to make. But the truth is, there’s more than one way to the bold path. Now is not the time to be precious about what you’ve created—it’s time for a collective effort to reject the statement as given and rewrite and reinvigorate your team to start problem-solving in new ways. Break out the red pens, it’s time to push back!

Hand over the reins and see how your team might take the challenge a step further, and through a different lens. When we run a Think Wrong Sprint, we look at the challenge from a variety of constituents (and their pains) to have multiple ways into the problem we started with. A small shift in perspective can make a huge difference for those who matter most to your challenge.
