The science behind our process

Neuroscience: Unleashing Creative Disruption

Recent advances in neurobiology further validate what we’ve known for years. The human brain is hardwired to resist change and limit the potential disruption that comes from creative thinking. To unleash innovative ideas, people must manage the “Gator Brain” with mature thought choice and collaborative thinking methods. Otherwise, the Gator Brain cunningly kills off the new thinking needed for innovation to come to life.
