Slingshot Basics: point of departure

Because business and cultural leaders view creativity as the most important leadership trait for future success.

Re-imagining boundaries is the process that empowers organizations and individuals alike to continuously rethink and reinvent what they do.

It is the link between systematic creativity and high-impact strategic thinking, and the critical basis of staying relevant.

What if you could reignite your childhood creativity in a systematic way, to overstep self-imposed limitations and to discover what you are really capable of achieving?

Continuous innovation is both necessary and exhilarating, and we all possess the inner capacity for it. Our capacity has simply been buried and lays dormant within us. As children, our imagination knew no boundaries. We would grab a slingshot and be instantly transformed into a warrior, a spy, a huntress, or protector of treasure. But as we grew older, our intellectual comfort zone shifted from that of continuous exploration and inquisitiveness to that of conformity with accepted norms of perception. All is not lost, however. We just need the right framework to re-engage our youthful creativity and re-imagine boundaries: THE SLINGSHOT FRAMEWORK.

Slingshot Framework

Find out why you need to infatuate your target audience and to provide them continuous lifestyle enrichment; how to become market-driving and to shape your offering for broadest relevance; and how to channel your reclaimed creativity into smart strategy. Launch yourself to new business and personal heights and have fun doing it.

Keynotes and Workshops

Gabor George Burt speaking

I lead provocative explorations to shape the future of your company. No matter how successful your business is today, you still operate within self-imposed boundaries. These boundaries bring the risk of marginalization. But overstepping them leads you to broadened consumer relevance and sustained growth.

You will learn how to apply the Slingshot Framework to:

Continuously re-imagine the boundaries of what you do and how to align your whole organization around the concept of re-imagining
Stretch the boundaries of your business to their broadest extent in order to discover new market spaces of expanded relevance
Identify consumer ‘pain points’ and to turn them into ‘points of infatuation’, transforming the weakest points of your offering into the most attractive
Embrace the shortcut to meaningful innovation by simply unlocking powerful combinations of existing components instead of inventing something entirely new.

Benefits and takeaways

At the end of our session you will possess the critical link between creativity and smart strategy and be empowered to:

Systematically use your newly rekindled creativity to expand the relevance of what you do in your business and your life
Create and sustain strong emotional connection with your target audience
Elevate your business to shape lifestyles (and work-styles) rather than being simply a provider of goods or services
Pursue meaningful innovation with the most impact and lowest cost

Dinner Series

Slingshot Dinner Series

My Re-Imagine Dinners are intimate, exclusive gatherings of VIP attendees designed to explore how to overstep boundaries for continuous growth and relevance. Participants experience the power of re-imagining boundaries through both discussion and application. I play the role of host and provocateur, leading a combination of conversation and activity that challenges attendees to consider their own boundaries and to learn from each other.

Each dinner is organized in a memorable setting involving a creative chef who demonstrates the principles of ‘re-imagining boundaries’ in the dinner itself, using ingredients in unusual yet savory combinations. All participants sit around a single table fostering an environment of strong group interaction.
