Week 3) Thriving Through Change
It’s rarely ever a question of if things change, but rather when. Change is continuous and always right around the corner. When the unexpected happens, how do you adapt?
Design thinking is a problem solving approach to dealing with change. The five phases of design thinking (empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test) help you develop an iterative mindset and achieve a state of continuous improvement.

Week 4) Creative Problem Solving with JTBD
In the “Jobs To Be Done” theory, your stakeholders “hire” you to accomplish a goal. A business “hires” a marketing tool to generate more revenue. Through an outcome driven approach, you can broaden your view of potential solutions (How else can you drive revenue generation?). This framework allows you to reframe key problems as opportunities for organizational success.

Week 5) Developing a Strategic Vision
Develop a top down approach to project management through futures & foresight thinking.
Futures & foresight thinking are mental models and possible stories of the future. How do you take possible environmental changes into account when planning for the long term? How do you get from point A to point B? Use the future to change the present and embed long term thinking into today’s action plan.

Arooj Sheikh
Instructor
After a career in the startup ecosystem working with venture studios, accelerators, and venture capital firms, she realized that the actual idea would very rarely reflect the success potential of a company, because the idea changes over time. But the true make or break factor was always the team. And after working with dozens of high performing teams, she realized that adaptability was the best predictor of success. Could they adapt to new customer needs or market changes?
Today, as the Lead Trainer at Amplify Training Institute, she brings her entrepreneurial learnings to the corporate setting to help high performers achieve their potential.
