One Big Happy Family


Are you thirsty for...
ideas that deliver creative solutions to tough problems?
insights into ways to turn your team into more creative problem-solvers?
inspiration to foster a more creatively-productive corporate culture?


What are these sessions all about?
One Big Happy Family is a professionally-facilitated problem-solving session that is based on a proven model that successfully takes teams to viable and creative solutions while creating greater cohesion among team members. Within the model, customized tools and techniques are created to meet the specific needs of the problem or opportunity that you need to address.
Short on Solutions?
"There's no shortage of ideas around here, but so many of them don't go anywhere. Just give me one idea that can be executed and I'd be happier than I am with the handful I've got now that are all questionable."

"I know I've got bright people working for me but I think we could be working together better. I feel like ideas are being championed by one person at a time instead of by the team."

"I'm starting to panic about some of my deliverables. My team is working hard but we seem to be spinning our wheels. I need to pull us all together and come up with some meaty solutions…now!"


Most of the success in business comes from an effective and creative way of solving problems.

For every problem, there are always at least three solutions; the two extremes and the one in the middle. The two extremes are usually pretty dismal solutions and the one in the middle is often status quo.

With applied creativity, the middle can be more heavily populated with wonderfully rich and unique ideas. When this happens, suddenly problems don't seem to have the unyielding power that they once did. The problem simply gets outnumbered by the number of viable solutions to dismantle it.

The more creativity you and your team apply, the more choices you have available. The more choices you have, the less likely it is that you'll have to compromise on the integrity of the solution. Trying to push a weak solution forward can be as draining on you and your team as tackling a tough problem.

The purpose of One Big Happy Family is to make life a whole lot easier by rallying the brainpower of your team around one central problem. The ideas and insights of each team member are seamlessly interconnected to produce a collaborative celebration of solutions and dynamic possibilities. Only ideas that are validated as possible solutions move forward in the process. As the possibilities expand, so does the inspiration and motivation of your team.


How will you grow?
  • Learn ways to assess a problem or opportunity.
  • Guide your team through a proven model of creative problem-solving to arrive at solutions that belong to the whole team, and not merely to one participant.
  • Learn a series of tools and techniques that your team can use again and again for breakthrough thinking and problem-solving.
  • Change thinking patterns to find solutions that would not have emerged otherwise.
  • Get your team back on track before they lose focus or chase tangents.
  • Learn how to build, strengthen, and validate ideas.


    Wondering if you're ready for this?
    If you have a problem that needs a solution, and you have a team in place to solve it, then you have everything you need to be One Big Happy Family.
