We help engineers & scientists to

 think & work better, together.

We offer tailored programmes that engage, energise and enable staff to think well

in complexity and uncertainty.

Our belief is that all individuals and group are innately resilient and adaptive given the right set of thinking tools - critical, creative and collective.

We design and deliver virtual workshops that create a shared language and prepare minds for Quality, Excellence & Innovation.

 


 

What We Do

Consulting
& Learning
Programmes

All our programmes are holistic and supported with e-learning modules and/or remote delivery. Delivery is through workshops, thinking puzzles, group problem-solving exercises, role-plays and case study discussions.

Executive Advice
& Coaching

Evolution does not consciously guide the development of organisms . Nothing evolves for a specific purpose yet this emerges. Individuals are supported to find their purpose through one to one or group coaching.

Keynote
Speaking

Fiona is a prolific writer of articles and these topics are convertible into guest-speaking sessions of various duration. Popular topics include "7 Habits of a Resilient Person” and "What are the Soft Skills we need to solve Hard Problems?"

Our Objectives

We apply these principles to drive adaptivity and resilience:

Clarity of self-directed purpose.

Cognitive agility to solve complex problems interdisciplinarily. 

Holistic strategies for change-readiness based on a "Safe Uncertainty" model.

Think4Purpose Core Competencies

We help STEM professionals integrate what is known with how to think collectively for the purpose of learning why.

Making decisions is difficult, particularly in the face of uncertainty and complexity. We help you to embrace the real-world; not 'Linear, Anthropocentric, Mechanistic & Ordered' but Stochastic, Territorial, Emergent & Probabilistic' through a 'desirably difficult' Problem-Based (Blended) Learning approach.  

 

“Creating knowledge through the transformation of experience” (Bandura).

Integrating
Thinking

Thinking is subject to heuristics-and-biases and therefore we need to apply the best-fit approach for our specific purpose. We can expand our mental preparedness and repertoire to be as broad-minded and far-sighted as needed.

Risk 
Literacy

Moral reasoning is a socio-cognitive process. We need respect and trust to face hard realities and decision-making together. If we assume positive intent and adopt a “no blame” approach, we can solve any complex problem. 

Improving 
Teamwork

Reflection is a vital but often forgotten element of any learning cycle. Without it, we cannot integrate our work, life experience and education/training well.

Unleashing
Innovation

To be fit for a world of increasing uncertainty, we must commit to continuously learn. Adopting a “Growth Mindset” (Dweck) helps to deal with the necessary discomfort for growth and development.

"We can't solve problems by using the same type of thinking we used when we created them" - Albert Einstein.
