Welcome - To the "Imagination Hack-a-thon"
For over 30 years, 5i Strategic Affairs has empowered leaders around the world to navigate complex challenges with its proven 5i strategic decision-making/planning process.
This structured yet flexible approach has successfully guided organizations through a series of 5 steps: Identifying Issues, sparking Imagination, defining Intent, fostering true Innovation, and ultimately achieving Impact.
However, in today's complex and rapidly changing world, leaders need to move more quickly and the real challenge today for leadership is to better sense into a different, deeper and emergent exploration of the "Imagination" step.
This implies being able to quickly foster a safe meeting space where risks can be taken, existing assumptions and behaviours can be suspended and uninhibited, generative conversations and activities can emerge. It’s a space where AI can fuse with collective human presence to see just what might be possible.
5i therefore now offers its comprehensive 5i process along with a new, more focused "Imagination Hack-a-thon" that co-creates in real-time the custom experience required by the situation/question, the team and the moment.
During these sessions, 5i facilitators have access to all the experiential “imagination’ practices that the company has assembled, customized and developed over the decades.
These short intense, 1-3 day "Deep Dives" tap into individual full-body wisdom, global awareness and collective intuition, aiming to unleash a team’s imagination in a liberating and highly creative space.
They aim to generate new insights, perspectives and possibilities and seek to generate movement on even the most frustrating, seemingly immovable, organizational issues.

Strategic Assumptions
The Hidden, Yet Powerful Beliefs That Control Every Decision You Make
Why are Strategic Assumptions important?
"We simply assume that the way we see things is the way they really are or the way they should be. And our attitudes and behaviors grow out of these assumptions." - Stephen R. Covey from The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness
"People often form big assumptions in their lives and then seldom, if ever, examine them. They're woven into the very fabric of our lives. But only by bringing them into the light can people finally challenge their deepest beliefs and recognize why they're engaging in seemingly contradictory behavior." - Robert Kegan and Lisa Laskow Lahey from The Real Reason People Won't Change
"The ExCom members - the CEO, COO, CFO, CTO, and head of HR had grown tired of sitting through endless Powerpoint presentations that provided them few opportunities to challenge the business unit's assumptions or influence their strategies." - Michael Mankins from Stop Making Plans
What assumptions are you making about your life, your organization or your career that are fueling your decision-making? Are they well-founded, or totally off-base? How will you know?
How can you be assured that you are making the best decisions in an uncertain world?
This book offers practical strategies for making important decisions with greater clarity and confidence, regardless of the accuracy of your underlying assumptions.
