We empower high potential leaders
to embark on innovation expeditions
that transform
their leadership, their teams, and their organization
to achieve breakthrough results.

 

The Challenge Dialogue System® (CDS) was developed by Dr. Don Simpson, founder of the Innovation Expedition and reflects his 45 years of working with and learning from colleagues in all sectors around the world. It has been tested successfully with industry, government, nonprofits and research agencies in North America, Europe, Southeast Asia and Africa. Don has been a personal mentor to each member of the growing network of practitioners.

The main drivers for the methodology are:

  1. A recognition that approaches to planning and problem solving that have served groups well in the past are no longer sufficient;

  2. Leaders in all sectors are facing increasingly complex challenges – requiring collaborations across established boundaries, overturn traditional ways of thinking and require innovative solutions; and

  3. A new more flexible, comprehensive, organizational management and performance improvement system is needed that helps transform diverse sets of individuals into high performing teams, expert in co-creating innovative solutions that help groups solve complex tasks.
