TAKING ACTION DURING A CRISIS

At a time when the ground which we walk on is shaking and rumbling with economic earthquakes, the thing to do is not look at the ground but to look up and forward.

Preserving our job is not good enough. We need ideas and strategies which will help our company to re-strategise.

From our experience, many companies plan their strategies without reference to the realities on the landscape, be it availability of resources, support and approval of directors, market sentiment or a host of other crucial factors.

To come up with a realistic strategy for recovery, to compete successfully, companies need a thorough assessment of factors that may be crucial in determining the outcome of any plan.

With our ScanKey system, individuals, teams and think tanks we have trained have found, a framework which provides them with a useful tool that helps them to shift their thinking paradigms and plan for the future with judicious perspective.

GLOBAL RECOGNITION

This week I want to acknowledge a remarkable husband and wife team: Linda and Peter Low in Singapore. Over the last few years they have trained about 15,000 people and earned revenues of several million dollars as accredited APTT instructors.

Both Linda and Peter gave up their daily job to set up an organisation dedicated to teaching creative thinkers. Their clients have ranged from banks to department stores, from high tech companies to the military.

They are an unusual team of excellent trainers and good administrators. They are now building up training teams in other countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, Hong Kong etc.

Linda and Peter are the leading trainers of my work anywhere in the world.

In addition to corporate and government training, Peter and Linda run a Saturday morning school for teaching thinking. They have about 350 youngsters every Saturday morning. The youngsters become so enthusiastic that at the end of the courses they do not want to leave. One youngster persuaded his parents not to go on holiday, "because he would miss his thinking lessons".

Congratulations to Linda and Peter who have shown that creative thinking can be taught. One company got seven patentable ideas out of a training session with Linda and Peter.
