ICI-37 Workshop: Structured Team Thinking Methods for CI and Strategy Leaders

ICI 37 Critical Thinking Competitive Intelligence / Market Intelligence

How to surface what your team actually knows — and turn it into faster, higher-confidence decisions

Most teams don't lack knowledge. They lack the methods to surface it. In time-pressured CI, strategy, and R&D situations, the most valuable inputs stay silent — while dominant voices, unexamined assumptions, and AI-generated outputs fill the gap. This workshop gives leaders a structured, field-tested toolbox to change that.

• Surface what people really know (not just what they say)
• Structure group reasoning under time pressure
• Combine human reflection and decision making with AI responsibly

Workshop Focus

    Key methods you'll practice

  • RED critical thinking method — Structured reflection, applied individually and in groups
  • The thinking methods framework — Matching method to objective, timeframe, and decision risk
  • Rapid full-voice input: 1-2-4-All and Think-Pair-Share — Including common error traps and how to avoid them
  • Prioritization under pressure — Overcoming the pull toward expected answers
  • Collective intelligence and expert knowledge — Brainwriting and structured knowledge capture
  • Risk surfacing — Premortem analysis using prospective hindsight to identify what could go wrong before it does
  • Structured sensemaking — Analysis of Competing Hypotheses (ACH) — Separating what you know from what you assume
  • Expert knowledge elicitation — Cognitive Task Analysis prompts and speed interviewing

Participants work directly with their own real challenges — analysing and dismantling them using the methods covered.
Every participant leaves with a "when to use what" decision map for urgent and non-urgent scenarios.
