Description

The Challenge the Challenge activity marks the transition from reflection to actionable opportunity on Day Two. Participants revisit their original Challenge Briefs with a fresh perspective gained through the Deflection Point Exercise and Day One’s insights. By critically examining the anchors (obstacles) and boosters (enablers) they identified, participants challenge their initial definitions of their challenges to uncover deeper, more impactful opportunities for growth.

Using this enriched understanding, participants will reframe their challenges into "How Might We" (HMW) statements. These HMW statements serve as bridges to opportunity, shifting the focus from problems to possibilities. This activity emphasizes bold thinking, empowers participants to reimagine their growth pathways, and sets the stage for actionable strategy development later in the session.

This exercise builds on the progression of Day One by ensuring that participants continuously refine their understanding and align their aspirations with actionable insights. It serves as a critical pivot point from exploring challenges to identifying opportunities.

Objectives

• Reframed Challenges into Opportunities – Participants develop actionable "How Might We" statements, translating obstacles into clearly defined opportunities for growth and innovation.
• Deeper Understanding of Barriers and Enablers – By revisiting and challenging their initial Challenge Briefs, participants gain a nuanced understanding of what is truly holding them back and how they can leverage enablers for success.
• Foundation for Strategic Planning – The HMW statements provide a focused starting point for designing bold and strategic solutions, ensuring that participants move forward with clarity and intention.
