Balanced Group Thinking® services
Powerful methodology to unleash creativity of work teams
 Balanced Group Thinking is a unique business innovation service that
combines the most ancient science known to mankind (yoga/meditation) and the most creative
business planning process of the 20th Century (storyboarding) with the power of Internet
video conferencing to unite remote teams, including affiliated organizations, in a common

Based on a successful methodology developed during years of consultation for Fortune

techniques with a variety of storyboarding methods customized to achieve specific client
management objectives.
Balanced Group Thinking is available as a business service for organizations of all
sizes in 2-hour, 4-hour, 6-hour, 8-hour, 12-hour and 16-hour workshops, each customized to
meet your unique requirements:
 | Team Building Workshop

common goals and objectives. Heart-centered meditation exercises are practiced to enhance
feelings of group cohesiveness, unity and empathy. Regular followup sessions are
recommended to reinforce team spirit and ongoing cooperative activity.

Two or more organizations develop and enhance mutual trust among their members in the
workshop and generate a set of partnering principles for future interaction of which the
group can take ownership. Through exercises and simulations, the group develops solidarity
and common purpose, creates guidelines for making decisions, defines groundrules for
quality, and determines a series of action items going forward.
| Project Charter Workshop

At the outset of an important project, the group defines its mission, strategies, goals
and objectives to bring the project to a successful completion, and concludes the workshop
by writing a formal declaration of cooperation that is signed by all parties: the project
charter.

frames open issues, identifies potential stakeholder conflicts, develops creative
solutions, and reaches consensus on what actions to take.
| Continuous Improvement Workshop

The group establishes or updates an iterative quality improvement process to manage a
project, reengineer how business is conducted, or maintain quality standards. The group

agreement if mutual understanding is reached.

The group negotiates mutually acceptable solutions to problems in a mediated
environment. Brain hemisphere-balancing exercises are used to improve creative decision

The group practices and learns negotiation skills and stress reduction techniques in a
partnering paradigm. Participant-specific questions and situations are addressed.
| Transition Management Workshop

For complex projects where the business processes of multiple companies must be

mutual trust among their members in the workshop and generate a set of partnering
principles for future interaction. Through exercises to establish team solidarity, the
group defines common purposes, creates guidelines for making decisions, identifies
potential stakeholder conflicts, and determines a series of action items going forward.
Methodologies for managing the ongoing transformative process are implemented, and group
members in turn enhance leadership skills within their own organizations.
