Today, we talk 'agility' - developing the muscle to redesign continuously, rather than treat transformation as a one-off event. Many of the non-profit organisations that we work with are also developing their distinct Theories of Change and Impact frameworks. These strategies are only as good as the document on which they are written if thinking, planning and execution do not align, believe in and stay the course to drive the intended results and outcomes. When 70% of change

During COVID-19, many services and programmes 'pivoted' online - DPI's included. But having an online 'substitute' to what was previously 'in person' is, in our books, 'problem solving' - a restoration to the norm - even if it felt very much 'breakthrough'. It was a watershed period no doubt. Then, we developed 'From Problem Solving to Breakthrough Thinking' to enable teams to move beyond 'pivots' into really conceptualising new 'S' curves. Now, with AI brewing, we have a NE

Powered by AI. It's here! For a little while now, the bunch of us at DPI have been learning and iterating lots and mainly benefitting our clients and ourselves tremendously with how much more breadth, depth and speed we can now deep dive into evidence-based strategic analysis for Critical Thinking, Decision Making, and Strategy Review and Formulation with our proprietary strategic thinking-trained AI tool. Consulting and applied in-house trainings are 2 ways we have brought t

It's been over a year since we began our journey of running "Decision Making in an AI World" and you can say, DPI's own transformation of integrating AI in our consulting and training (more on this later). Working with clients through one of the four levels of our end-point facilitation expertise, we've done talks, public workshops, use case in-house workshops (feel free to email singapore@dpi-asia.com to ask us more!), here are our reflections - if they maybe helpful for yo

Change, and in today's world AI, is impacting all of us at a mega level. With change as the "new constant", you'd agree with us that relevance will be a ‘moving target’. Strategic Agility, we believe, is the pathway to sustained Distinct Relevance; one that is underpinned by repeatable and enduring Critical and Strategic Thinking skills in the very people tasked with delivering on outcomes. Yet, left unchecked or without clear intent, there is real risk that change becomes

Does the question make you feel uncomfortable or uncertain? It is planning season and we are doing the work alongside clients, partners, and friends. Some of us, plugged into ground realities, sense seismic shifts in the landscape ahead. A new S curve is needed. Others assess that it is not necessary to take a zero-base look at their strategy. The assumptions upon which it is built still hold true and there is still a good runway to go. Small adjustments would keep the ship

And what's it got to do with Innovative Thinking? (Wait! Don't jump to any conclusions yet.) At a recent 1-day Retreat, a facilitator...

As we all align our strategy execution and ops with our organisational strategy for success, here's a continuum of comprehensive Strategic Agility programmes we have developed in collaboration with the Social Service Institute, to take you from Problem-solving to Breakthrough Thinking and Innovation, from Strategic Alignment to Execution, and from Strategic Review through to AI-powered Strategy Formulation, Pure & Simple!
