Weightless Imagination

A systematic approach to unconstrained thinking for enterprise leadership teams. Temporarily suspend the forces that keep your organisation's imagination in predictable orbits.

Every large organisation employs intelligent people who are capable of having interesting ideas. Most of those people rarely have interesting ideas at work. This is not a failure of talent. It is a failure of environment.

Escape Velocity is a methodology for creating different environments – temporary spaces where imagination operates under different rules. The system comprises a book describing the philosophy and practice, and a complete game system for running sessions with leadership teams.

In development

The Weightless Imagination App and Executive Board Game are both in development. These will bring the methodology to life as interactive tools – one digital, one physical – designed for leadership offsites, strategy days, and innovation workshops.

“The difficulty lies not so much in developing new ideas as in escaping from old ones.”
