Don't leave change to chance - design with fresh ideas.
It’s beginning to look a lot like…
We’re at that time of year when thoughts turn to reflection and projection. Depending on our mood, we might think of what could have been, or what might be next. If you’re a business leader who’s at work whilst the team takes a well-earned rest over Summer, this quiet time can be great for clarity and thinking differently.

We know from our own experience that a day or two of intensive thinking, challenging and refining can reframe business challenges into exciting possibilities. We specialise in selecting the right Design Thinking and Business Analysis approaches and bring them together with imagination and rigour to find insights you can act upon.
There are several benefits to starting the new year with fresh perspectives and clarity on "what might be" and how you might approach it.
Some examples could include:
- Improved focus and direction: By gaining a clear understanding of the possibilities and opportunities that lie ahead, you can set more specific and achievable goals for yourself and your business, and develop a plan for achieving them.
- Increased motivation and engagement: When you have a clear vision of what you want to achieve, it can be more motivating and engaging to take action and make progress towards your goals. This can help to keep you motivated and energized throughout the year.
- Greater flexibility and adaptability: By considering different possibilities and approaches, you can be more open and flexible in your thinking, and be better prepared to adapt to changing circumstances and challenges.
- Enhanced creativity and innovation: When you have a clear sense of what might be possible, it can be easier to think creatively and come up with new and innovative ideas and solutions.
Working with a Redvespa Consultant to explore your situation and possibilities creates a “safe space” for fresh thinking. It’s useful to have this space for early ideas, so they are better-formed when you take them to your team, for challenge and development.

There are several ways to think through business situations and possibilities at work in a safe, creative, and constructive way. Some examples could include:
- Using a structured problem-solving process: This could involve defining the problem, generating potential solutions, evaluating the pros and cons of each solution, and selecting the best option.
- Engaging in creative thinking exercises: This could involve using techniques like brainstorming, lateral thinking, and mind-mapping to generate new ideas and possibilities.
- Seeking input and feedback from fresh sources: This could involve sharing your thoughts and ideas with us to bounce back-and-forth our perspectives and suggestions.
- Taking a collaborative approach: If some of your team are also around, we can work with you all to generate and evaluate ideas, and to develop a shared understanding of the problem and potential solutions.
- Creating a safe and supportive environment: How might you extend this “thinking space,” fostering open and honest communication, encouraging diverse perspectives, and creating a culture of respect and inclusion?

By using these approaches, you can think through business situations and possibilities in a way that is safe, creative, and constructive, and that allows you to develop innovative and effective solutions.
What next?
Armed with a distillation of ideas and actions, you can start working on immediate actions or deeper exploration - or both. There’s a saying - “if you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together”.
You can forge ahead on your own to take your thinking and reframing to the next level. Or, you can draw up the plan to bring your team on the journey and multiply the impact. You can work with imagination, or you can dig into evidence and analysis.
We love hearing from (and working with) clients who are using their new thinking in the real world.
