Classic Product Development Model
Long process with multiple steps
Too many people involved and too many approbation levels
Standardized way of thinking
R&D Product centric instead of Customer centric
And above all, no customer at end of process ready to pay…

Internal Workshop with support of
several disruptive techniques
And with the constraint to succeed
in limited time frame !
ESSENTIAL

8. How to unlock & accelerate
disruptive solutions or innovations ?
The principles of the Escape rooms:
 1 “extensive” day workshop (8 to 24 hours !)
 Collaborative team, intern marketing/com/sales/R&D : 8 to 12
participants
 Commitment : No possibility to leave without finding the solution
 Several dedicated rooms (4 to 6 rooms) – with specific disruptive
theories and techniques - 45’ to 60’
 The constraint of solving the issue and the full immersion in
concerned “problematic” will raise to success
 Out of the box thinking for now and for future issues to be solved

9. How to nourish disruptive and
creative thinking ?
Tool box with set of theories and easy to catch techniques
disseminated in different rooms (45’ to 60’ hour per room) :
 The Nudges tips and tricks
 Persuasion principles
 Change habits method
 Blue ocean strategy
 “What if” techniques
 Myths & Archetypes
 Storytelling principles
“Eyes Openers” useful for
any kind of questioning

focused mindset
Group hypnosis

11. For which type of “problematic” could this
approach unlock the situation ?
 Urgent need to acquire new customers
 Market with huge inertia and routines complex to
change
 Losses of existing customers despite efforts to
curb the phenomenon
 Multiples failures of products launches
 Unexplained differences between
regions/countries despite similar launch strategies
and investments
