Step #1

Identify the problem and the participants.

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Begin with a “wicked problem” – one that is industry-wide and intractable.

Step #2

Uncover the root of the problem.

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The cohort identifies the root issues behind the problem, including unproductive metanarratives and assumptions.

Step #3

Identify those who are innovating to solve the problem.

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The group then finds and visits “those who have broken loose, who are breaking the rules with superior results” in order to observe, learn, and ask, “Just how did you overcome the barriers?” and “What price did you pay challenging the established norms?”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”7%” bottom_padding=”7%” id=”step4″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1581596838915{margin-top: 50px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”]
