Access to the most powerful change technology on the planet
Powerful forces - globalization, permanent market volatility,
increased expectations of customers and the public, earnings pressure,
and others - are now reshaping the landscape in which we do business.
An enterprise must be able to rapidly adapt 
and
innovate in order to succeed in this environment. To sustain success,
an organization must be able to "sense and respond" continuously
while making ever faster and better business decisions.
The Art of Acceleration…Better, Faster Business
Decisions
What if…
- you could get all of your stakeholders to work together to develop your business strategy, technology architecture or next business improvement initiative?
- you could unleash the full potential and creativity of your staff, your leadership team, key suppliers, customers, and subject matter specialists all at once- and agree on a common vision and transformation roadmap?
- you could accelerate all phases of your system development projects reducing months to weeks and weeks to days?
- your team could identify tens of thousands of dollars in cost savings in your supply chain, develop a detailed action plan to realize the benefits, and then commit to each other to go for it?
GroupGenius™ is a suite of methods and models that Fortune 100 companies utilize to accomplish six to twelve months of work in three to four days. (But only three to four days of executive time—not an event followed by numerous other meetings)
GroupGenius™ is emphatically not an off-site, facilitated session, intervention, group grope or feel-good teambuilding session. It is a work-your-butt-off, far-more-productive-than-you-would-ever-believe event. And-It is fun!!
Dwight O’Neill is GAIN’s prime facilitator for GroupGenius™ as he has been for companies such as Hewlett-Packard, NASA, Cisco Systems and Microsoft who have paid $250,000+ per event. We are now able to offer GroupGenius™ to small and medium sized companies at a much more affordable rate.
GroupGenius™ compares to facilitated sessions like the Concorde compares to a commuter plane. The commuter is a safe, reliable, moderate speed aircraft that gets you to your destination in comfortable safety. The Concorde gets you to a distant destination terrifically fast, seats 100, requires a highly trained pilot, costs more and can only fly from certain airports. However, if you want to move fast, there is no better way to travel.
Why is GroupGenius™ the Concorde of discovery and design?
- You generate a far more robust solution than you could get any other way
- You surface and address the fundamental and potentially destructive issues lurking behind or underneath the project
- You go past 'alignment' (the outcome of most facilitated sessions) and even past 'buy-in' to 'ownership'
- The increase in buy-in translates to a huge decrease in downstream risk
- There is no time needed for selling the solution. The decision-makers who need to approve it were at the session
- You tap the genius within your group
In a GroupGenius™ event, we combine our world-class facilitation team, patented, decision-making process, knowledge bases and innovative workspaces to enable organizations to make better, faster business decisions. GroupGenius™ is often the first call when Fortune 100 senior executives, program/project leaders, and innovators are faced with complex, business challenges.
Delivering Concrete Results Quickly
A typical GroupGenius™ event could include 15 - 100+ participants from one or more organizations gathered in our open, collaborative workspace for up to four days of intensive work towards a common goal. Participants are supported and guided through a structured decision-making process by a highly skilled facilitation team who provide the tools, information and expertise to ensure the speedy resolution of complex issues.
Participants, including decision-makers, influencers and implementers, emerge from the event with plans that are ready to be executed, blueprints that have already been approved and a commitment to act from all key personnel. There is no such thing as a parking lot of issues or a "plan to plan." Decisions are made, and implementation begins.
To be truly adaptive in today's global market, organizations
must move through the transformation process at an accelerated pace. This
simply cannot be achieved using conventional methods with traditional
time frames.
The Bottom Line
The value of a GroupGenius™ event is realized
through: 
- Collaborative Acceleration: the process dramatically reduces cycle times for solution delivery and results. Sponsors often say that they "have accomplished three, six, or nine months of work in three days."
- Commitment: the rapid alignment and mobilization of a large team occurs in several days. Change agents make the decisions and commit to the successful implementation of the solution.
- Reduced risk: higher quality solutions are developed through creative collaboration in a knowledge-rich environment. Better, more comprehensive solutions yield superior operating results.
