Strategic Input:

Triviation starts by gaining a clear understanding of the key objectives of your organization. Weeks before the presentation of your Triviation program, an in-depth strategic input session via telephone will establish the key points to address. After careful research and analysis, Gene Jones will develop a unique and exciting program to achieve your objectives.

The Triviation Experience:

Using a modified game show format, Gene Jones initially leads participants through a series of questions designed to activate breakthrough thinking toward your company goals. Triviation then serves as a ‘breakthrough gymnasium’, stretching the limits of every participants’ mental abilities by introducing asymmetrical thinking; a non-linear thought process serving as the foundation for breakthroughs in your organization. Once participants are energized by asymmetrical thinking, their attention can be directed towards important business goals.

Before the Art of the Question concludes, your group will have identified and worked through the core questions to drive your organization’s agenda ahead at an accelerated pace. This is the birthplace of breakthrough thinking!
