The Discovery Workshop

The Institute's flagship leadership development program, the Kakushin Innovation Challenge, is highlighted by the Discovery Workshop, which challenges your team to declare a Desired Future State, identify a Breakthrough Goal to measure success, and in the process, practice new Ways Of Working that create a positive change in your culture.  Participants learn to Unhook from their established behaviors and processes to create nourishing environments for people to take calculated risks, outside of their comfort zones, in order to produce extraordinary results.  During this 2-day workshop, we help leaders establish a new context that inspires creativity and puts new ideas into action.


Kakushin is about bringing something new into existence,
about transforming fundamental assumptions and beliefs around
the dominant view of what is possible
— Sam Monaco, Senior Academic Advisor and Kakushin Facilitator

The Acceleration Workshop

Another highlight of Kakushin Institute's methodology deals with the inevitable roadblocks and breakdowns that are expected when operating in the learning zone... that uncomfortable and unpredictable place where innovation occurs.  Participants of the acceleration workshop learn about how language and context drives business, and how understanding the difference between fact and interpretation can unlock additional creativity and help your teams overcome obstacles. They also learn how to use good communication and recognition techniques to put BOUNCE back in the organization.


Leadership Conferences

In addition to implementing Kakushin Institute's methodology to drive a global change initiative for 14,000 employees world-wide, this global engineering firm also took advantage of the Kakushin Institute's extensive capabilities in designing and producing dynamic and unique Senior Leadership Conferences.
