Assumptions
Challenge™
Learn how to stress-test your strategies and pressure-test your plans — before reality does it for you.
What This Workshop Delivers
Assumptions Challenge™ is a foundational Red Team Thinking tool designed to surface both stated and unstated assumptions behind your plans and strategies — and then challenge them with rigorous, structured thinking.
Who Is This For?
Decision makers, planners and consultants who want to develop and execute more effective strategies in today's complex, rapidly changing world.
What Will I Gain?
Practical, hands-on training that gives you everything you need to deploy Assumptions Challenge in your organization right away.
What You'll Walk Away With
A repeatable process and ready-to-use templates you can deploy in your very next strategy session — no ramp-up required.
Why Assumptions Challenge™ Matters
Every strategy is built on assumptions. Most of them are never examined. The ones left unchallenged become the fault lines where plans collapse.
Assumptions Challenge™
A rigorous framework for identifying, categorizing, and systematically challenging the assumptions holding up your plans and strategies — so you can find and fix the cracks before they find you.
Cognitive biases, groupthink, and the pressure to maintain momentum all conspire to keep critical assumptions invisible. Assumptions Challenge™ gives you a structured process to make the invisible visible — and to test what you find with deliberate, disciplined thinking.
What You'll Learn
- How to identify the stated and unstated assumptions embedded in any strategy or plan
- A systematic framework for categorizing assumptions by type and criticality
- Techniques for challenging your own thinking and that of your team
- How to overcome cognitive biases and groupthink that keep bad assumptions in place
- A repeatable process you can begin using in your organization immediately
Participants who successfully complete this workshop receive RTT Certification in Assumptions Challenge™.
