What lies beyond the horizon?  Most transformational outcomes are not predicted. 


They are created.

EFFECTUAL (ENTREPRENEURIAL) MINDSET

The approach entrepreneurs take to create something new and innovative.  It is iterative and relationship based.

  • Use what is available to you – who you are, what you have, who you know
  • Invest only what you can afford to lose
  • Engage others and allow them to shape your vision with their contributions
  • Turn the unexpected into opportunities by focusing on what you can control

Causal (Managerial) Mindset

The cornerstone of most MBA programs, causal thinking is linear and focused on a predetermined outcome.

  • Research market trends
  • Envision a breakthrough idea
  • Forecast market share
  • Launch according to plan
 

Innovation-driven organizations employ 

both mindsets.

Effectuation is a unique way of interacting with others.  Scientific research shows it is used by expert entrepreneurs more than any other decision making framework.  It improves the long term chances of developing truly game changing innovations.

We help companies understand when and how to apply effectual thinking.
