About this course
Extend: Innovative Problem-Solving
The ambidextrous Design Thinking-X EXTEND tool is used for innovative problem solving – or coming up with original ideas to address challenges. This is a new tool created by Dr Gaia Grant which incorporates the Explore Preserve model to go deeper into Design Thinking. The EXTEND model involves adopting an ambidextrous mindset, which means looking for solutions based on both incremental small adjustments as well as breakthrough new thinking.
This session will cover how to start thinking in these two modes to address challenges more effectively. You will learn how to think in PRESERVE mode – or developing ‘Inside the box’ ideas – stretching & adapting current concepts for incremental change. Then you will learn how to think in EXPLORE mode – or developing ‘Outside the box’ ideas – breaking the paradigm and changing the parameters for breakthrough new solutions. You will be surprised to learn how differently you can start thinking about a challenge when you are given the tools to extend your problem-solving skills.
The World Economic Forum Future of Jobs Report (2023) highlights the critical importance of developing innovative problem-solving skills to deal with complex rapid change futures. This research identifies learning experiences that address core paradoxical innovation tensions for developing greater competence and capabilities in innovative problem-solving. The findings of the study indicate that teaching a unique approach to “active ambidexterity” improves innovative problem-solving. Then research found that not only can this method help to produce more original ideas, it can also enable improved situational analysis for better adapting to rapid change.

ANSWER: The ‘Collaborator Canvas / Gamified Simulation is on a Miroboard, but is accessed through our Learning Management System (what you are on right now) https://courses.tirian.com/ The team leader (not the rest of the team) purchases and enrols in this course. As soon as we get notice of your enrolment, we will create and send a unique URL link to access your own Miroboard Canvas.

This type of licensing model is not suitable, nor permitted to be used for training, teaching, running workshops, or commercial licensing beyond one-on-one and selected small groups. (anything beyond this would require the leaders to apply for full licensing partnership.) Tirian can remove / block any Miroboard URL at their discretion.

ANSWER: Independent Self-Led Leaders & Coaches- It’s recommended to repurchase a new board each time, for new teams, especially if the team wants to keep their current canvas live, (allowing them to revisit and update it). However at a squeeze, it can be reused by the same purchaser, noting the canvas would need to be reset (scrubbed) by the purchaser. Fully licensed partners - get unlimited access to the canvases and the equivalent physical table versions, if it forms part of their contract in the context of a full workshop & TTT contract.
