Global Ideas Institute Expert Speaker Series
At the Rotman School of Management, under our Dean Roger Martin, we’ve spent a decade deciphering and teaching how truly successful leaders think. From interviews with more than 50 highly successful leaders across industries – leaders like A.G. Lafley of Procter & Gamble, Isadore Sharp of the Four Seasons and Dr. Victoria Hale of the Institute for One World Health– we found a specific pattern of thinking that informs better decisions and more effective action. Called Integrative Thinking, this pattern of thinking represents the ability to generate new and better options in the face of opposing ideas. This talk will cover the theory of integrative thinking and offer some illustrative examples of integrative thinking in action. Finally, we’ll put the theory to use, working together to explore models and create new ideas.
