One of the most pressing challenges for CEOs today is complexity. While anytime, anywhere connectivity and global integration have opened the door of opportunity, the 2010 IBM Global CEO Study found that many business leaders feel ill-equipped to solve problems and succeed in today’s increasingly complex environment.

Navigating through a web of board meetings and internal strategy sessions to troubleshoot a complex problem can take months. Bridge Consulting offers an accelerated approach to combat complexity and cut straight to the heart of a problem through Real Work Project (RWP)™ Swarm sessions. The RWP™ Swarm is a highly interactive, customized collaboration session designed to attack, swarm, and resolve a complex business problem within days.

Swarming to solve a problem not only gives executives the tools they need to fast-track the usual process, it can also help jumpstart a stalled effort back-on-track. “It would have taken us weeks to do this on our own…you kept us engaged and at a pace that was exciting," expressed a global energy executive about his RWP™ experience.

The RWP™ Swarm process is influenced by leading collaborative design approaches including the MG Taylor DesignShop™ Methodology and Tim Brown’s Design Thinking™ approach. Sessions take place in specialized environments designed to inspire creativity and are supported by expert facilitation, multi-media tools, graphic illustration, and a wide variety of innovative acceleration techniques.

"Besides achieving strategic alignment of staff, the Real Work Project™ approach had measurable impact on business results and direction, far in excess of the costs of the program," said Mike Naylor, VP, Exploration Technical, Shell.

Before Bridge begins the Swarm design, we work with you to understand your business and clearly define specific core values, outcomes, and deliverables you require from this session to resolve your complex problem. Using the Explore, Engage, Execute™ process, we help you build the right team of key players within your organization to Swarm the issue with us by exploring the problem and leading research, engaging possible solution scenarios and prototypes, and executing a final action plan for success.
