Overview

"Learn how you and your team can do in one day what a mob of McKinsies (et al) and million$ can't get done in months. Breaking Genius took 25 years of real-world consulting practice and 7 years of rigorous scientific and academic research to complete. It is teachable. It is learnable. It ensures repeatable moments of genius for anything you do. John Krubski, co-author: ""For more than 25 years, I have been soliciting clients with an offer: ""Put your team in a room with me for one day and I will guarantee that, by the end of that day, they will get to a consensus, a vision, and an action plan. If I fail to deliver, you don't pay (when was the last time you heard THAT from a consultant?). Either way, your team will learn something new about your business, change their minds about something they believed about the business, and have the most intellectual fun they have had since experiencing the best teacher that has ever stretched their thinking. I have never left any money on the table."" Overpromise? Hype? You Decide. ""You helped us do in one day what a mob of McKinsies couldn't pull off in a year and a half with millions. Thanks."" - CEO, Fortune 75 Company ""A day with Krubski can provide answers to some of the most serious, deep-seated questions an organization or a family can ask..."" - Mitzi Perdue author of HOW TO MAKE YOUR FAMILY BUSINESS LAST ""The 7-3-1 schema constituted the backbone of a discussion that had never systematically taken place and was priceless (they said) for the transparent thinking it engendered."" - Agnes Mura AMI Coaches ""It is a very powerful process that helps a diverse population of participants move toward consensus. Breaking Genius did an excellent job of encouraging all the voices to be heard. Within an hour, 7 key ""facts"" were identified and supported by all the participants."" - Bill Bergquist, Ph.D., Pres. The Professional School of Psychology ""We were able to leverage this process with some great brands such as Pepsi, Starbucks, O'Connor Davies, First Capital, Novartis, and Biomet, to name a few. It was the starting point for anything we did creatively."" - Marc Sampogna, Founder, Canopy Brand Group ""Here's the most incredible part: Krubski was able to do this with us in a total of four hours across two sessions."" - Gary Brode and Raji Khabbaz, Silver Arrow Investment Management ""It's now possible to combine fact with intuition and create something new that just might change the world for the better."" - Scott P. Bennett, CMO, Customer Centric Solutions Alex K Krubski, co-author: ""I have applied the principles of Breaking Genius in grades 9-12 for the past decade, shared them with my colleagues across subject areas, worked to integrate them into my curriculum, or implemented them on the fly. I have carried these tools with me to meetings, workshops, and postgraduate classes, and each time I have met with the same success. The simple elegance of Thinking Whole cannot be overstated. The processes are formulaic (in the best sense of that word), simple to remember, easy to implement, and each time they work to create a container for our thinking where great things happen."
